BEGGAR AT THE FEAST
~ from "Les Miserables" - The Original London Cast
CHORUS
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.
THENARDIER
Ain't it a laugh?
Ain't it a treat?
Hob-nobbin' here
Among the elite?
Here comes a prince.
There goes a Jew.
This one's a queer,
But what can you do?
Paris at my feet.
Paris in the dust.
And here's me breaking bread
With the upper crust...
Beggar at the feast!
Master of the dance!
Life is easy pickings
If you grab your chance.
Everywhere you go,
Law-abiding folk
Doing what is decent,
But they're mostly broke!
Singing to the Lord on Sundays
Praying for the gifts He will send.
M. & MME. THENARDIER
But we're the ones who take it
We're teh ones who make it in the end!
Watch the buggers dance.
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.
THENARDIER
And when I;m rich as Croesus
Jesus! Won't I see you all in Hell!
