Look down look down

Don't look 'em in the eye

Look down look down

You're here until you die

Now prisoner for 24601

Your time is up

And your parole's begun

You know what that means

Yes it means I'm free

No

Follow to the letter your itinerary

This badge of shame you'll show it until you die

It warns you're a dangerous man

I stole a loaf of bread

My sister's child was close to death

And we were starving

You will starve again

Unless you learn the meaning of the law

I know the meaning of those 19 years

A slave of the law

Five years for what you did

The rest because you tried to run

Yes 24601

My name is Jean Valjean

And I am Javert

Do not forget my name

Do not forget me

24601

Look down look down

You'll always be a slave

Look down look down

You're standing in your grave

Freedom at last how strange it is

Never forget the years the waste

Nor forgive them for what they've done

They are the guilty every one

The day begins and now let's see

What this new world will do for me
