[00:01.70](Marius and Cosette lead a wedding procession)
[00:02.31]
[00:03.22]CHORUS
[00:03.42]Ring out the bells
[00:05.13]Upon this day of days!
[00:10.31]May all the angels
[00:12.39]Of the Lord above
[00:18.65]In jubilation
[00:20.94]Sing their songs of praise!
[00:25.28]And crown this
[00:26.48]Blessed time with
[00:28.15]Peace and love.
[00:35.13](The procession becomes a dancing celebration. A waltz is played)
[00:36.95]BEGGARS AT THE FEAST
[00:40.33]THENARDIER
[00:48.77]Ain't it a laugh
[00:50.39]Ain't it a treat?
[00:52.15]Hob-nobbin' here
[00:53.97]Among the elite?
[00:57.91]Here comes a prince
[00:59.84]There goes a Jew.
[01:01.76]This one's a queer
[01:03.32]But what can you do?
[01:08.97]Paris at my feet
[01:12.65]Paris in the dust
[01:15.54]And here's me breaking bread
[01:18.57]With the upper crust!
[01:23.17]Beggar at the feast!
[01:24.43]Master of the dance!
[01:25.89]Life is easy pickings
[01:27.15]If you grab your chance.
[01:28.96]Everywhere you go
[01:30.42]Law-abiding folk
[01:31.94]Doing what is decent
[01:33.11]But they're mostly broke!
[01:34.93]Singing to the Lord on Sundays
[01:37.91]Praying for the gifts He'll send.
[01:39.78]M. & MME. THENARDIER
[01:40.94]But we're the ones who take it
[01:42.35]We're the ones who make it in the end!
[01:47.17]Watch the buggers dance
[01:48.73]Watch 'em till they drop
[01:50.19]Keep your wits about you
[01:51.31]And you stand on top!
[01:53.12]Masters of the land
[01:54.70]Always get our share
[01:56.21]Clear away the barricades
[01:57.32]And we're still there!
[01:59.30]We know where the wind is blowing
[02:02.37]Money is the stuff we smell.
[02:05.16]And when we're rich as Croesus
[02:06.36]Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell!
[02:09.44]
