Students:
Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade
Marius:
Let them come in their legions
And they will be met
Enjolras:
Have faith in yourselves
And don't be afraid
Grantaire:
Let's give 'em a screwing
That they'll never forget!
Combeferre:
This is where it begins!
Courfeyrac:
And if I should die in the fight to be free
Where the fighting is hardest
There will I be
Feuilly:
Let them come if they dare
We'll be there!
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 the 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 overheard their plans
There 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:
Liar!
Good evening, dear inspector
Lovely evening, my dear.
I know this man, my friends
His name is 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!
Grantaire:
Bravo, little Gavroche, you're the top of the class!
Prouvaire:
So what are we going to 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!
Javert:
Shoot me now or shoot me later
Every schoolboy to his sport
Death to each and every traitor
I renounce your people's court!
Enjolras:
Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do!
Joly:
There's a boy climbing the barricade!
