Little People Lyrics

Little People lyrics

[Gavroche enters.]

 

 Gavroche

 Liar!

 Good evening, dear inspector

 Lovely evening, my dear.

 I know this man, my friends

 His name is Inspector Javert

 So don't believe a word he says

 'Cause none of it's true

 This only goes to show 

 What little people can do!

 

 And little people know

 When little people fight

 We may look easy pickings

 But we've got some bite

 So never kick a dog

 Because he's just a pup

 We'll fight like twenty armies

 And we won't give up

 So you'd better run for cover

 When the pup grows up!

 

 Grantaire

 Bravo, little Gavroche, you're the top of the class!

 

 Prouvaire

 So what are we going to do

 With this snake in the grass?

 

 Enjolras

 Tie this man and take him

 To the tavern in there

 The people will decide your fate

 Inspector Javert!

 

 Various Students

 Take the bastard now and shoot him!

 Let us watch the devil dance

 You'd have done the same Inspector

 If we'd let you have your chance!

 

 Javert

 Shoot me now or shoot me later

 Every schoolboy to his sport

 Death to each and every traitor

 I renounce your people's court!

 

 Combeferre

 Though we may not all survive here

 There are things that never die

 

 Grantaire

 What's the difference? Die a schoolboy

 Die a policeman die a spy!

 

 Enjolras

 Take this man, bring him through

 There is work we have to do!

 

 [Javert is bundled away as the first shots ring out.

 Eponine enters, wounded.]

 

 Joly

 There's a boy climbing the barricade!

 

 Marius

 Good God! What are you doing?

 'Ponine, have you no fear?

 Have you seen my beloved?

 Why have you come back here?

 

 Eponine

 Took the letter like you said

 I met her father at the door

 He said he would give it

 

 [She collapses]

 

 Don't think I can stand any more.

 

 Marius

 Eponine, what's wrong? I feel...

 There's something wet upon your hair

 

 [There is blood on his hands]

 

 Eponine, you're hurt

 You need some help! 

 Oh God, it's everywhere....
