Little People

Claude-Michel Schönberg

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!

And little people know

When little people fight

We may look easy pickings

But we've got some bite

So never kick a dog

Because he's just a pup

We'll fight like twenty armies

And we won't give up

So you'd better run for cover

When the pup grows up!

Bravo, little Gavroche, you're the top of the class!

So what are we going to do

With this snake in the grass?

Tie this man and take him

To the tavern in there

The people will decide your fate

Inspector Javert!

Take the bastard now and shoot him!

Let us watch the devil dance

You'd have done the same Inspector

If we'd let you have your chance!

Shoot me now or shoot me later

Every schoolboy to his sport

Death to each and every traitor

I renounce your people's court!

Though we may not all survive here

There are things that never die

What's the difference? Die a schoolboy

Die a policeman die a spy!

Take this man, bring him through

There is work we have to do!
