LOOK DOWN
from the musical, Les Miserables
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 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 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!
BEGGARS
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down upon your fellow men!
OLD BEGGAR WOMAN
What yer think yer at
Hanging round me pitch?
If you're new around here, girl
You've got a lot to learn!
YOUNG PROSTITUTE
Listen, you old bat...
Crazy bloody witch...
'Least I give me customers
Some pleasure in return!
OLD BEGGAR WOMAN
I know what you give
Give 'em all the pox!
Spread around yer poison
Till they end up in a box
PIMP
Leave the poor old cow
Move it, Madeleine
She used to be no better
Till the clap got to her brain
BEGGARS
When's it gonna end?
When're 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.
ENJOLRAS
Where are the leaders of the land?
Where are the swells who run this show?
MARIUS
Only one man and that's Lamarque
Speaks for these people here below
BEGGARS
See our children fed
Help us in our shame
Something for a crust of bread
In Holy Jesus' name
URCHIN
In the Lord's Holy name
BEGGARS
In his name
In his name
In his name
MARIUS
Lamarque 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 judgement day
BEGGARS
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down
Upon your fellow men!
