Look Down Lyrics & Tabs by Les Misérables - International Cast
Look Down
guitar chords lyrics
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
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-Michels
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
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
What d'you think your at hanging round my pitch?
If you're new around here girl you've got a lot to learn
Listen you old bat, crazy bloody witch
At least I give my customers some pleasure in return
I know what you give, give them all the pox!
Spread around your poison 'til they end up in a box
Leave the poor old cow, move it Madeline
She used to be no better 'til the clap got to her brain
When's this gonna end?
When we gonna live?
Something's gotta happen now, something's gotta give
It'll come, it'll come
It'll come, it'll come
It'll come, it'll come
Where are 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
See our children fed, help us in our shame
Something for a crust of bread in holy Jesus' name
In the Lord's holy name
In his name, in his name
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?
Watch out for old Thenardier
All of his family's on the make
Once ran an outhouse down the way
Bit of a swine and no mistake
He's got a gang of bleeding layabouts
Even his daughter does her share
That's Eponine, she knows her way about
Only a kid but hard to scare
Do we care? Not a cuss
Long live us, long live us!
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down upon your fellow man
