Javert's Arrival/Little People
Listen, my friends, I have done as I said
I have been to their lines, I have counted each man
I will tell what I can
Better be warned, they have armies to spare
And the danger is real, we will need all our cunning
To bring them to heel
Have faith
If you know what their movements are, we'll spoil their game
There are ways that our people can fight
We shall overcome their power
I have overheard their plans
There will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve us out
Before they start a proper fight
Concentrate their force, hit us from the right
Liar
Good evening, dear inspector
Lovely evening, my dear
I know this man, my friends
His name's 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 might look easy pickings, but we've got some bite
So never kick a dog because he's just a pup
We'll fight like 20 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 gonna 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 that bastard now and shoot him
Let us watch this devil dance
You'd have done the same Inspector
If we'd let you have your chance
Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do
I have been to their lines, I have counted each man
I will tell what I can
Better be warned, they have armies to spare
And the danger is real, we will need all our cunning
To bring them to heel
Have faith
If you know what their movements are, we'll spoil their game
There are ways that our people can fight
We shall overcome their power
I have overheard their plans
There will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve us out
Before they start a proper fight
Concentrate their force, hit us from the right
Liar
Good evening, dear inspector
Lovely evening, my dear
I know this man, my friends
His name's 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 might look easy pickings, but we've got some bite
So never kick a dog because he's just a pup
We'll fight like 20 armies, and we won't give up

If we'd let you have your chance
Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do
