[00:00.00](Marius and Cosette lead a wedding procession)
[00:03.80]CHORUS:Ring out the bells upon this day of days!
[00:09.23]May all the angels of the Lord above
[00:18.83]In jubilation sing their songs of praise!
[00:25.66]And crown this blessed time with peace and love.
[00:36.27](The procession becomes a dancing celebration. A waltz is played)
[00:39.43]BEGGARS AT THE FEAST
[00:48.09]THENARDIER:Ain't it a laugh
[00:50.30]Ain't it a treat?
[00:52.10]Hob-nobbin' here among the elite?
[00:58.00]Here comes a prince
[00:59.93]There goes a Jew.
[01:01.64]This one's a queer but what can you do?
[01:07.97]Paris at my feet
[01:11.29]Paris in the dust
[01:13.96]And here's me breaking bread with the upper crust!
[01:20.55]Beggar at the feast!
[01:22.70]Master of the dance!
[01:24.41]Life is easy pickings if you grab your chance.
[01:27.56]Everywhere you go.Law-abiding folk
[01:30.81]Doing what is decent, but they're mostly broke!
[01:33.99]Singing to the Lord on Sundays
[01:37.04]Praying for the gifts He'll send.
[01:40.27]M. & MME. THENARDIER:But we're the ones who take it
[01:41.91]We're the ones who make it in the end!
[01:46.39]Watch the buggers dance
[01:48.34]Watch 'em till they drop
[01:49.90]Keep your wits about you
[01:51.30]And you stand on top!
[01:53.07]Masters of the land
[01:54.68]Always get our share
[01:56.23]Clear away the barricades and we're still there!
[01:59.24]We know where the wind is blowing
[02:02.41]Money is the stuff we smell.
[02:05.26]And when we're rich as Croesus
[02:06.97]Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell!
