Javert’s Arrival / Little People Lyrics by Philip Quast

Les Misérables: In Concert at the Royal Albert Hall

0

[JAVERT]
Listen my friends, I have done as I said
I have been to their lines
I have counted each man
I will tell what I can
Better be warned, they have armies to spare
And our danger is real
We will need all our cunning
To bring them to heel
[ENJOLRAS]
Have faith!
If you know what their movements are
We'll spoil their game
There are ways that a people can fight
We shall overcome their power
[JAVERT]
I have ovеrheard their plans
Therе will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve us out
Before they start a proper fight
Concentrate their force
Hit us from the right
[GAVROCHE, spoken]
Liar!
[GAVROCHE]
Good evening, dear Inspector
Lovely evening, my dear
I know this man, my friends
His name's 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 gonna 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!
[STUDENTS, variously]
Take the bastard now and shoot him!
Let us watch this devil dance
You'd have done the same, Inspector
If we'd let you have your chance
[ENJOLRAS]
Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do
