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
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 Michele
We live on crumbs
of humble piety
Tough on the teeth
but what the hell
Think you're poor
Think you're free
Follow me Follow me
Look down and show
Some mercy if you can
Look down Look down
Upon your fellow man
What you think yer at
Hanging round me pitch
If you're new around here girl
You've got a lot to learn
Listen you old bat
Crazy bloody witch
Least I give me customers
Some pleasure in return
I know what you give
Give 'em all the pox
Spread around your poison
Till they end up in a box
Leave the poor old cow
Move it Madeleine
She used to be no better
Till the clap got to her brain
When's it gonna end
When we gonna live
Something's gotta happen now or
Something's gonna give
It'll come it'll come it'll come
It'll come it'll come it'll come
Where are the leaders of the land
Where are the swells
who run this show
Only one man
And that's Lamarque
Speaks for
these people here below
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
Lamarque is ill and fading fast
Won't last the week out
So they say
With all the anger in the land
How long before
the judgement day
Before we cut the fat ones
down to size
Before the barricades arise
Watch out for old 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 a gang
The bleeding layabout
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
Look down and show
Some mercy if you can
Look down Look down
Upon your fellow man
