Less Miserably: The Musical Mistake
Inspired by the fanfic "Red and White" (thank you, whoever wrote that!), here are my versions of Les Mis song parodies!
I Dreamed A Dream (I Dreamed A Dream)
Grantaire:
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When I was high and really living
I dreamed the wine would never dry
I dreamed that Javert was forgiving
(What was I on?)
When I was young and just got paid
And money made and used and wasted
There was no checkbook to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted
But the bouncers come at night
With their voices loud as thunder
As they throw you out the door
And pour the wine all down the drain
There slept a bum against my side
He filled my nose with endless odor
And he snored there as he lied
And I wished he was in Spain
And still I dream the wine will be
So different from this stuff I'm drinking
It's different now from what it seemed
Cause the store billed the dream I dreamed
Love These Lawless (Lovely Ladies)
Javert:
I smell trouble
Smell it in the air
Think I'll go march over
To those people over there
Ah, what relish
Way to make my day
Just a few arrests
And I can go back on my way
Lovely morning
Isn't it, you scum
Waiting for a customer
Are you, monsieur le bum
Come on, off to jail with you, you're dumb
Come here, my dear
Let's see this trinket you wear
It's stolen, right – what, you admit it?
Off with you!
Bargain rulings up at city hall!
(Not.)
Love these lawless
Keep me on the move
Look at all these convicts with stupidity to prove
Now, if only someone'd try the Louvre!
A Belly Full Of Wine (A Heart Full Of Love)
Grantaire:
A belly full of wine
No beer…no regret
My name is…something….let me see
Uh, I forget!
And now I don't know what to say
But I don't care
Ah, the wine
That I drank
A belly full of wine…
