The Sewers / Dog Eats Dog

Lyrics

[VALJEAN discovers that MARIUS is still alive and carries him down a manhole into the sewers.] [THÉNARDIER appears in the sewers.] [THÉNARDIER] Here's a hint of gold Stuck into a tooth Pardon me, Monsieur You won't be needing it no more Shouldn't be too hard to sell Add it to the pile Add it to the stock Here among the sewer rats A breath away from hell You get accustomed to the smell Well, someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends Bodies on the highway Law and order upside down Someone's got to collect their odds and ends As a service to the town [VALJEAN arrives, carrying MARIUS. VALJEAN collapses. THÉNARDIER robs MARIUS.] Here's a tasty ring Prеtty little thing Wouldn't want to waste it That would really bе a crime Thank you, sir, I'm in your debt Here's a little toy Take it off the boy His heart's no longer going And he's lived his little time But his watch is ticking yet Well, someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends Before the little harvest Disappears into the mud Someone's got to collect their odds and ends When the gutters run with blood It's a world where the dog eats the dog Where they kill for the bones in the street And God in His heaven, He don't interfere 'Cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet I raise my eyes to see the heavens And only the moon looks down The harvest moon shines down [THÉNARDIER, spoken] Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha [VALJEAN recovers, picks up MARIUS and continues through the sewers.]
