LES MISERABLES lyrics : "Wedding Chorale/Beggars at the Feast"

WEDDING GUESTS
Ring out the bells
Upon this day of days!

May all the angels
Of the Lord above


In jubilation
Sing their songs of praise!
And crown this blessed time

With peace and love!

MARIUS

Go away,
Thénardier!
Do you think I don't know who you are?


MADAME THÉNARDIER
He's not fooled!

Told you so!
Show M'Sieur what you've come here to show.
Tell the boy what you know!


THÉNARDIER
Pity to disturb you at a feast like this

But 500 francs surely wouldn't come amiss.

MARIUS

In God's name say what you have to say.

MADAME THÉNARDIER

He speaks.
You pay!


THÉNARDIER
What I saw,
Clear as light,

Jean Valjean in the sewers that night,
Had this corpse
On his back

Some boy he had killed in a viscious attack.
I was there, never fear!
Even found me this fine souvenir!


MARIUS
I know this!

This was mine!
This is surely some heavenly sign!


MARIUS
Then it's true!
Then I'm right!

Jean Valjean was my saviour that night!

THENARDIER

Jean Valjean - the old con.
You pay up and I'll say where he's gone.


Watch the buggers dance

THÉNARDIER & MME. THÉNARDIER

Watch 'em till they drop!
Keep your wits about you
And you stand on top!


Masters of the land
Always get our share

Clear away the barricades
And we're still there!


We know where the wind is blowing
Money is the stuff we smell -
And when we're rich as Croesus, Jesus!

Won't we see you all in hell!
