Look down, 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 streets 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!
There was a time we killed the King; We tried to change the world too fast. Now we have got another King; He is no better than the last. This is the land that fought for liberty - Now when we fight we fight for bread! Here is the thing about equality - Everyone’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!
