[Thenardier is picking through the corpses in the sewers.]  Thenardier   Here's a hint of gold   Stuck into a tooth   Pardon me M'sieur   You won't be needing this 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, and collapses.   Thenardier robs Marius.]   Here's a tasty ring   Pretty little thing   Wouldn't want to waste it   That would really be a crime   Thank you sir, I'm in your debt   Here's another 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 them 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 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!   [He turns over Valjean's body, recognizes him, and leaves.   Eventually, Valjean picks up Marius again and walks through   the sewers. As they emerge, they meet Javert.]  Valjean   It's you, Javert   I knew you wouldn't wait too long   The faithful servant at his post once more!   This man's done no wrong,   And he needs a doctor's care.  Javert   I warned you I would not give in   I won't be swayed  Valjean   Another hour yet   And then I'm yours   And all our debts are paid.  Javert   The man of mercy   Comes again   And talks of justice  Valjean   Come, time is running short   Look down, Javert   He's standing in his grave   Give way, Javert   There is a life to save.  Javert   Take him Valjean,   Before I change my mind   I will be waiting   24601.   [Valjean carries Marius off.]
