Les Misérables opening - Look down CHORUS Look down, look down Don’t look ’em in the eye Look down, look down You’re here until you die 1ST CONVICT The sun is strong It’s hot as hell below CHORUS Look down, look down there’s twenty years to go. 2ND CONVICT I’ve done no wrong Sweet Jesus, here my prayer CHORUS Look down, look down Sweet Jesus doesn’t care 3RD CONVICT I know she’ll wait I know that she’ll be true CHORUS Look down, look down They’ve all forgotten you 4TH CONVICT When I get free You won’t see me ’Ere for dust CHORUS Look down, look down Don’t look ’em in the eye. 5TH CONVICT How long, O Lord Before you let me die? CHORUS Look down, look down You’ll always be a slave Look down, look down You’re standing in your grave. JAVERT Now bring me prisoner 24601 Your time is up And your parole’s begun You know what that means. VALJEAN Yes, it means I’m free. JAVERT No! It means you get Your yellow ticket-of-leave You are a thief. VALJEAN I stole a loaf of bread. JAVERT You robbed a house. VALJEAN I broke a window pane. My sisters child was close to death And we were starving. JAVERT You will starve again Unless you learn the meaning of the law. VALJEAN I know the meaning of those 19 years A slave of the law. JAVERT Five years for what you did The rest because you tried to run Yes, 24601. VALJEAN My name is Jean Valjean. JAVERT And I am Javert Do not forget my name Do not forget me 24601 CHORUS Look down, look down You’ll always be a slave Look down, look down You’re standing in your grave. -------------------------DISCLAIMER------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use“ for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
