Look down, and see the beggars at your feet
Look down, 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???? to Saint Michelle
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
As for the leaders of the land,
As for the swiles (?) who run the show
Only one man and that's La Marque
Speak for the people here below.
Now La Marque is fading fast
Won't last the week out so they say
With all the anger in the land
How long before the judgement, 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.
