Thénardier

Here's a hint of gold

Stuck into a tooth

Pardon me m'sieur

You won't be needing this no more.

Shouldn't be too hard to sell.

Add it to the pile

Add it to the stock

Here among the sewer rats

A breath away from hell

You get accustomed to the smell.

Well someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends

Bodies on the highway

Law and order upside down

Someone's got to collect their odds and ends

As a service to the town!

Here's a tasty ring

Pretty little thing

Wouldn't want to waste it

That would really be a crime

Thank you sir, I'm in your debt

Here's another toy

Take it off the boy

His heart's no longer going

And he's lived his little time

But his watch is ticking yet!

Well, someone's got to clean them up, my friends

Before the little harvest

Disappears into the mud

Someone's got to collect their odds and ends

When the gutters run with blood.

It's a world where the dog eats the dog

Where they kill for bones in the street

And God in his heaven

He don't interfere

'Cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet

I raise my eyes to see the heavens

And only the moon looks down

The harvest moon shines down!

Valjean

It's you, javert

I knew you wouldn't wait too long

The faithful servant at his post once more!

This man's done no wrong,

And he needs a doctor's care.

Javert

I warned you I would not give in

I won't be swayed

Valjean

Another hour yet

And then I'm yours

And all our debts are paid.

Javert

The man of mercy

Comes again

And talks of justice

Valjean

Come, time is running short

Look down, javert

He's standing in his grave

Give way, javert

There is a life to save.

Javert

Take him valjean,

Before I change my mind

I will be waiting
