Chorus:
(All humming)
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, hear 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, Dear 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 sister's 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 nineteen 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'm 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.
