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...
