Lyrics of Look Down by Ian Tucker,Les Misérables - Original London Cast
BEGGARS
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!
GAVROCHE
′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!
Think you're poor?
Think you′re free?
Follow me! Follow me!
BEGGARS
Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man!
ENJOLRAS
Where the leaders of the land?
Where are the swells who run this show?
MARIUS
Only one man - and that′s Lamarque
Speaks for these people here below.
MARIUS
Lamarque is ill and fading fast!
Won't last the week out, so they say.
ENJOLRAS
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?
BEGGARS
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
