(Marius and Cosette lead a wedding procession) |
| [00:03.80] |
CHORUS:Ring out the bells upon this day of days! |
| [00:09.23] |
May all the angels of the Lord above |
| [00:18.83] |
In jubilation sing their songs of praise! |
| [00:25.66] |
And crown this blessed time with peace and love. |
| [00:36.27] |
(The procession becomes a dancing celebration. A waltz is played) |
| [00:39.43] |
BEGGARS AT THE FEAST |
| [00:48.09] |
THENARDIER:Ain't it a laugh |
| [00:50.30] |
Ain't it a treat? |
| [00:52.10] |
Hob-nobbin' here among the elite? |
| [00:58.00] |
Here comes a prince |
| [00:59.93] |
There goes a Jew. |
| [01:01.64] |
This one's a queer but what can you do? |
| [01:07.97] |
Paris at my feet |
| [01:11.29] |
Paris in the dust |
| [01:13.96] |
And here's me breaking bread with the upper crust! |
| [01:20.55] |
Beggar at the feast! |
| [01:22.70] |
Master of the dance! |
| [01:24.41] |
Life is easy pickings if you grab your chance. |
| [01:27.56] |
Everywhere you go.Law-abiding folk |
| [01:30.81] |
Doing what is decent, but they're mostly broke! |
| [01:33.99] |
Singing to the Lord on Sundays |
| [01:37.04] |
Praying for the gifts He'll send. |
| [01:40.27] |
M. & MME. THENARDIER:But we're the ones who take it |
| [01:41.91] |
We're the ones who make it in the end! |
| [01:46.39] |
Watch the buggers dance |
| [01:48.34] |
Watch 'em till they drop |
| [01:49.90] |
Keep your wits about you |
| [01:51.30] |
And you stand on top! |
| [01:53.07] |
Masters of the land |
| [01:54.68] |
Always get our share |
| [01:56.23] |
Clear away the barricades and we're still there! |
| [01:59.24] |
We know where the wind is blowing |
| [02:02.41] |
Money is the stuff we smell. |
| [02:05.26] |
And when we're rich as Croesus |
| [02:06.97] |
Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell! |
