Miserables, Les (Related Recordings) - Look Down lyrics
(Beggars Enter)
Beggars:
Look down and see the beggars at your feet
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down and see the sweepings of the street
Look down look down upon your fellow man
(Gavroche and gang enters)
Gavroche:
How d'ya do my names Gavroche
These are my people here's my patch
Not much to look at nothing posh
Nothing that you'd call up to scratch
This is my school my high society
Here in the slums of Saint Michel
We live off crums of 'umble pioty
Tough on the teeth but what the hell!
Think you're poor, think you're free?
Follow me.. follow me!
Beggars:
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down look down upon your fellow man
Women:
What d'ya think your at?
Hanging round my pitch?
If you're new around here girl you've got a lot to learn
Women2:
Listen you ol' bat
Crazy bloody witch!
Least I give my costumers some pleasure in return!
Women:
I know what give!
Ya give'em all the pox!
Spread around your poison 'til they end up in a box!
Man:
Leave the poor ol' cow!
Move it, Madeleine!
She used to be no better 'til the clap got to her brain!
Beggars:
When's this gonna end?
Where are we gonna live?
Something's gonna happen soon
Or somethings gonna give!
It'll come it'll come it'll come it'll come it'll come it'll come it'll come
Enjolras:
Where are the leaders of the land?
Where are the swells who run the show?
Marius:
Only one man and that's Lemarque
Speaks for the people here below
Beggars:
See our children fed
Help us in our shame
Something for a crust of bread in Holy Jesus name
In the Lord's Holy name
In His name in His name in His name in His name
Marius:
Lemarque is ill and fading fast!
Won't last the week out so they say!
Enjolras:
With all the anger in the land
How long before the judgment day?
Before we cut the fat ones down to size
before the barricades arise!
Beggars:
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down look down upon your fellow man....
