The Sewers / Dog Eats Dog Lyrics by Ashley Artus

Les Misérables Live! (2010 London Cast Recording)

0

[THÉNARDIER, picking through the corpses in the sewers]
Here's a hint of gold
Stuck into a tooth
Pardon me, Monsieur
You won't be needing it no more
It 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 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
[VALJEAN arrives, carrying MARIUS. VALJEAN collapses. THÉNARDIER robs MARIUS.]
Here's a tasty ring
A 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
It's a world where the dog eats the dog
Where they kill for the 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
[THÉNARDIER, spoken]
Valjean?
Ain't the world a remarkable place!
Ah, ha ha ha
[VALJEAN recovers, picks up MARIUS and continues through the sewers.]
