If I owned Les Mis, Gavroche would take the place of Cosette here…
*glares…*
The city of Paris has a rhythm
And me? I'm the drummer
If I pause to show my kindness
For sure I'd get more thinner
If I continue this folly
Until I starve to death
What shall I have accomplished
By wasting my final breath?
"Do unto others as you would
Want them to do to you"
This ain't the motto of Paris
And I ain't got more than a sou
But Paris shall have more drummers
To keep the beat in time
So here's some bread, enfants
I didn't commit no big crime
I hope you live a little longer
I hope you be happy with your wings
I hope I saved your lives, m'boys
I'm so glad I've taught you how to sing.
We watch from above
Us departed from the world
Eponine has her Marius
Fantine has her Cosette
Monsieur Valjean has them both.
But who do I have?
Les Amis have their republic
L'Inspecteur has his law
But who do I have?
I have you.
