The Wedding Chorale / Beggars At the Feast (Live)

The Wedding Chorale / Beggars At the Feast (Live) - 10th Anniversary Concert Cast of Les Misérables

Ring out the bells upon this day of days

May all the angels of the Lord above

In jubilation sing their songs of praise

And crown this blessed time with peace and love

Ain't it a laugh

Ain't it a treat

Hob-nobbin' here

Among the elite

There goes a prince

Here comes a Jew

This one's a queer

But what can you do

Paris at my feet

Paris in the dust

And here's me breaking bread

With the upper crust

Beggars 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 Sunday's

Praying for the gifts he'll send

But we're the ones who take it

We're the ones who make it in the end

Watch the buggers dance

Watch 'em 'til they drop

Keep you're wits about you

And you'll 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 as rich Croesus

Jesus won't we see you all in hell
