Les Miserables - Little People (London version) lyrics

They laugh at me, these fellows, just because I am small They laugh at me because I'm not a hundred feet tall I tell 'em there's a lot to learn down here on the ground The world is big but lil' people turn it around A worm can roll a stone A bee can sting a bear A fly can fly around Versailles 'cos flies don't care A sparrow in a hut, can make a happy home A flea can bite the bottom of the pope in Rome Goliath was a bruiser who was as tall as the sky But David threw a rock, and gave him one in the eye I never read the Bible but I know that it's true It only goes to show what little people can do All: A worm can roll a stone A bee can sting a bear A fly can fly around Versailles 'cos flies don't care A sparrow in a hut, can make a happy home A flea can bite the bottom of the pope in Rome Gavroche: So listen here, professor with your head in the cloud It's often kinda useful to get lost in a crowd So keep your universities -- I don't give a damn For better or for worse it is the way that I am Be careful as you go 'Cos little people grow... And little people know... When little people fight We may look easy pickings but we got some bite! So never kick a dog Because it's just a pup You'd better run for cover when the pup grows up! And we'll fight like twenty armies And we won't give up All: A worm can roll a stone A bee can sting a bear A fly can fly around Versailles 'cos flies don't care A sparrow in a hut, can make a happy home A flea can bite the bottom of the pope in Rome A flea can bite the bottom of the pope in Rome
