Come on boys
Yeah
Come on
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!
Ow 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!
There was a time we killed the king
He tried to change the world to fast
Now we have got another king
He's no better than the last
This is the land that I fought for liberty
Now when we fight we fight for bread
Who is the thing about equality
If e'ry one's equal when
They're dead
Take your place
Take your chance
Vive la france!
Vive la france!
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man
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
Where the leaders of the land?
Where is the king who run this show?
Only one man - general lamarque
Speaks for these people here below
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?
Vive la france! vive la france!
Vive la france! vive la france! vive la france!
