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