Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here comes a man in uniform
What brings you to this place?
[Verse 2]
I come here as a volunteer
[Verse 3]
But look upon your face
[Verse 4]
You wear an army uniform
[Verse 5]
That's why they let me through
[Verse 6]
You've got some years behind you, sir
[Verse 7]
There's much that I can do
[Verse 8]
You see that prisoner over there?
[Verse 9]
A volunteer like you
[Verse 10]
A spy who calls himself Javert
[Verse 11]
He's gonna get it too
[Verse 12]
They're getting ready to attack
[Verse 13]
Take this and use it well
But if you shoot us in the back
You'll never live to tell
[Verse 14]
Platoon of sappers advancing towards the barricade
Troops behind them, fifty men or more
[Verse 15]
FIRE
[Verse 16]
See how they run away
[Verse 17]
By God we've won the day
[Verse 18]
They will be back again
Make an attack again
For your presence of mind
For the deed you have done
I will thank you Monsieur when our battle is won
[Verse 19]
Give me no thanks Monsieur
There's something you can do
[Verse 20]
If it is in my power
[Verse 21]
Give me the spy Javert
Let me take care of him
[Verse 22]
The law is inside out, the world is upside down
[Verse 23]
Do what you have to do
This man belongs to you
[Verse 24]
The enemy may be regrouping, hold yourselves in readiness
Come on my friends back to your positions
The night is falling fast
