Lyrics Les Miserables Cast – Little People
Text:
Gavroche:
Good evening, dear Inspector. Lovely evening, my dear
I know this man, my friends, his name’s Inspector Javert
So don’t believe a word he says ‘cos none of it’s true
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’re we gonna 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 policemen, die a spy?
Enjolras:
Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do
