Little People

Gavroche
Liar!
Good evening, dear inspector
Lovely evening, my dear
I know this man, my friends
His name is inspector Javert
So don't believe a word he says
'Cause none of it's true
This only goes to show
What little people can do!
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 are we going to 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!
Courfeyrac
Take the bastard now and shoot him!
Feuilly
Let us watch the devil dance!
Lesgles
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 policeman, die a spy?
Enjolras
Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do!
Joly
There's a boy climbing the barricade!
Marius
Good God! What are you doing?
Ponine, have you no fear?
Have you seen my beloved?
Why have you come back here?
Eponine
Took the letter like you said
I met her father at the door
He said he would give it
Don't think I can stand any more
Marius
Eponine, what's wrong? I feel
There's something wet upon your hair
Eponine, you're hurt
You need some help!
Oh, God, it's everywhere
