(Thénardier is picking through the corpses in the sewers)<br>
<br>
THENARDIER<br>
Here's a hint of gold<br>
Stuck into a tooth<br>
Pardon me M'sieur<br>
You won't be needing it no more.<br>
Shouldn't be too hard to sell.<br>
Add it to the pile<br>
Add it to the stock<br>
Here among the sewer rats<br>
A breath away from Hell<br>
You get accustomed to the smell.<br>
<br>
Well someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends<br>
Bodies on the highway<br>
Law and order upside down<br>
Someone's got to collect their odds and ends<br>
As a service to the town!<br>
<br>
(Valjean arrives, carrying MARIUS. <br>
VALJEAN collapses)<br>
<br>
(THENARDIER robs marius)<br>
<br>
Here's a tasty ring<br>
Pretty little thing<br>
Wouldn't want to waste it<br>
That would really be a crime<br>
Thank you sir, I'm in your debt<br>
Here's another toy<br>
Take it off the boy<br>
His heart's no longer going<br>
And he's lived his little time<br>
But his watch is ticking yet!<br>
<br>
Well, someone's got to clean them up, my friends<br>
Before the little harvest<br>
Disappears into the mud<br>
Someone's got to collect their odds and ends<br>
When the gutters run with blood.<br>
<br>
It's a world where the dog eats the dog<br>
Where they kill for bones in the street<br>
And God in His Heaven<br>
He don't interfere<br>
'Cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet<br>
I raise my eyes to see the heavens<br>
And only the moon looks down<br>
The harvest moon shines down!<br>
<br>
(He turns over Valjean's body, recognizes him, and leaves. Eventually, Valjean picks up Marius again and walks<br>
through the sewers. As they emerge, they meet Javert)<br>
<br>
<br>
VALJEAN<br>
It's you, Javert!<br>
I knew you wouldn't wait too long<br>
The faithful servant at his post once more!<br>
This man's done no wrong,<br>
And he needs a doctor's care.<br>
<br>
JAVERT<br>
I warned you I would not give in<br>
I won't be swayed<br>
<br>
VALJEAN<br>
Another hour yet<br>
And then I'm yours<br>
And all our debts are paid.<br>
<br>
JAVERT<br>
The man of mercy comes again<br>
And talks of justice<br>
<br>
JAVERT<br>
Come, time is running short<br>
Look down, Javert<br>
He's standing in his grave<br>
Give way, Javert<br>
There is a life to save.<br>
<br>
JAVERT(overlapping)<br>
Take him Valjean,<br>
Before I change my mind<br>
I will be waiting<br>
24601.<br>
<br>
(Valjean carries Marius off)<br>
