Miserables, Les (Related Recordings) - The Beggers lyrics
Beggers:
Look down and see the beggers 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:
How do you do my name's 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 Michelle
We live off crums of Humble Piety
Tought on the teeth but what the hell!
Think your poor? Think your free?
Follow me! Follow me!
Beggers:
Look down and see the beggers 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
Enjolras:
Where are the leaders of the land?
Where are the swells who run the show?
Marius:
Only one man and that's Lamarque
Speaks for the people here below
Beggers:
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
Marius:
Lamarque is ill and fading fast.
Won't last a 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 baricades arise
Gavroche:
Watch out for ol' Thenardier
All of his family's on the make!
Once ran a hash house down the way
Bit of a swine and no mistake!
He's got the gang the bleeding lay-about
Even his daughter does her share
That's Eponine she knows her way about
Only a kid but hard to scare
Do we care? Not a cuss!
Long live us, Long live us!
Beggers:
Look down and see the beggers at your feet
Look down and show some mercy if you can...
