Lyrics of Look Down by Les Misérables - 10th Anniversary Concert Cast
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
What you think yer at?
Hanging round me 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 'em all the pox!
Spread around your poison
Till they end up in a box
Leave the poor old cow,
Move it, Madeleine
She used to be no better
Till the clap got to her brain
When′s it gonna end?
When we gonna live?
Something's gotta happen now or
Something′s gonna give...
It'll come, it′ll come, it'll come
It'll come, it′ll come, it′ll come
Where the leaders of the land?
Where are the swells who run this show?
Only one man - and that's Lamarque
Speaks for these 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, 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?
Look down, and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man
Writer(s): Herbert Kretzmer, Claude-michel Schonberg, Alain Albert Boublil, Jean-marc Natel
