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
If you're poor If you're free
Follow me Follow me
Look down and show some
mercy if you can
Look down look down upon your
fellow man
Where the leaders of the land
Where are the swells who run
this show
Only one man and that's Lamarque
Speaks for the 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
Look down and show some
mercy if you can
Look down look down upon your
fellow man
