Song lyrics

[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 men.

[Gavroche:]
How d'ya 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 Michel.
We live off crums of 'umble piety,
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!

[Old beggar women:]
What d'ya think you're at
Hanging round my pitch?
If you're new around here, girl,
You've got a lot to learn.

[Prostitute:]
Listen you ol' bat,
Crazy bloody witch!
Least I give my customers
Some pleasure in return!

[Old beggar women:]
I know what give!
Ya give'em all the pox!
Spread around your poison 'til they end up in a box!

[Pimp:]
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?
When are we gonna live?
Something's gonna happen soon
Or something's gonna give!
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...


* OST Les Miserables (2012)
