BEGGARS AT THE FEAST 
Thenardier 
Ain't it a laugh? 
Ain't it a treat? 
Hob-nobbin' here 
Among the elite?  [bad word] a prince 
There goes a Jew. 
This one's a [bad word] 
But what can you do? 
Paris at my feet 
Paris in the dust 
And here I'm breaking bread 
With the upper [bad word]  
Beggar at the feast! 
Master of the dance! 
Life is easy pickings 
If you grab your chance. 
Everywhere you go 
Law-abiding folk 
Doing what is decent 
But they're mostly broke! 
Singing to the Lord on Sundays 
Praying for the gifts He'll send. 

M. and Mme. Thenardier 
But we're the ones who take it 
We're the ones who make it in the end! 
Watch the buggers dance 
Watch 'em till they drop 
Keep your wits about you 
And you stand on top! 
Masters of the land 
Always get our share 
Clear away the barricades 
And we're still there! 
We know where the wind is blowing 
Money is the stuff we smell 
And when we're rich as Croesus 
Jesus! Won't we see you all in [bad word]  

[Valjean is alone in the shadows, with a bare wooden cross [bad word] ] 

Valjean 
Alone I wait in the shadows 
I count the hours till I can sleep 
I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by 
It made her weep to know I die. 
Alone at the end of the day 
Upon this wedding night I pray 
Take these children, my Lord, to thy embrace 
And show them grace. 

God on high 
Hear my prayer 
Take me now 
To thy care 
Where You are 
Let me be 
Take me now 
Take me there 
Bring me home 
Bring me home. 

[Fantine's spirit appears to Valjean.] 

Fantine 
M'sieur, I bless your name 
M'sieur, lay down your burden 
You raised my child in love 
And you will be with god. 
Valjean (interjecting) 
I am ready, Fantine 
At the end of my days 
She's the best of my life. 

[ From: [bad word] /www [bad word] beggars-at-the-feast-lyrics-les-miserables.html ]

[Marius and [bad word] into the room, but they do not see Fantine.] 

Cosette 
Papa, papa, I do not understand! 
Are you alright? They said you'd gone away. 

Valjean 
Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now? 
Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day. 

Marius 
It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool 
It's you who must forgive a thankless man 
It's thanks to you that I am living 
And again I lay down my life at your feet. 

Cosette, your father is a saint. 
When they wounded me 
He took me from the barricade 
Carried like a babe 
And brought me home to you! 

Valjean [to Cosette] 
Now you are here 
Again beside me 
Now I can die in peace 
For now my life is blessed 

Cosette 
You will live, Papa, you're going to live 
It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye. 

Valjean 
Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die 
I'll obey 
I will try 
On this page 
I write my last confession 
Read it well 
When I at last am sleeping. 
It's a story 
Of those who always loved you 
Your mother gave her life for you 
Then gave you to my keeping. 

[The other spirits appear.] 

Fantine [bad word] with me 
Where chains will never bind you 
All your grief 
At last, at last behind you. 
Lord in Heaven 
Look down on him in mercy. 

Valjean 
Forgive me all my trespasses 
And take me to your glory. 

Valjean, Fantine, & Eponine 
Take my hand 
And lead me to salvation 
Take my love 
For love is everlasting. 
And remember 
The [bad word] that once was spoken 
To love another person 
Is to see the face of God!
