Prologue |
| Look down, look down |
| Don’t look 'em in the eye |
| Look down, look down |
| You’re here until you die |
| The sun is strong |
| It’s hot as hell below |
| Look down, look down |
| there’s twenty years to go. |
| I’ve done no wrong |
| Sweet Jesus, here my prayer |
| Look down, look down |
| Sweet Jesus doesn’t care |
| I know she’ll wait |
| I know that she’ll be true |
| Look down, look down |
| They’ve all forgotten you |
| When I get free |
| You won’t see me |
| 'Ere for dust |
| Look down, look down |
| Don’t look 'em in the eye. |
| How long, O Lord |
| Before you let me die? |
| Look down, look down |
| You’ll always be a slave |
| Look down, look down |
| You’re standing in your grave. |
| Now bring me prisoner 24 601 |
| Your time is up And your parole’s begun |
| You know what that means. |
| Yes, it means I’m free. |
| No! |
| It means you get |
| Your yellow ticket-of-leave |
| You are a thief. |
| I stole a loaf of bread. |
| You robbed a house. |
| I broke a window pane. |
| My sisters child was close to death |
| And we were starving. |
| You will starve again |
| Unless you learn the meaning of the law. |
| I know the meaning of those 19 years |
| A slave of the law. |
| Five years for what you did |
| The rest because you tried to run |
| Yes, 24 601. |
| My name is Jean Valjean. |
| And I am Javert |
| Do not forget my name |
| Do not forget me me 24601 |
| Look down, look down |
| You’ll always be a slave |
| Look down, look down |
| You’re standing in your grave. |
