[ENJOLRAS]
Here upon these stones, we build our barricade
In the heart of the city we claim as our own
Each man to his duty and don't be afraid
Wait! I will need a report on the strength of the foe

[JAVERT, disguised as a rebel]
I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars
Served my time
In the days
Of my youth!

[PROUVAIRE]
Now the people will fight

[GRANTAIRE]
And so they might
Dogs will bark
Fleas will bite

[LESGLES]
They will do what is right

[MARIUS spots ÉPONINE, who is dressed as a boy.]
[MARIUS]
Hey, little boy, what's this I see?
God, Éponine, the things you do!

[ÉPONINE]
I know this is no place for me
Still I would rather be with you

[MARIUS]
Get out before the trouble starts
Get out, 'Ponine, you might get shot

[ÉPONINE]
I've got you worried now, I have
That shows you like me quite a lot

[MARIUS]
There is a way that you can help
You are the answer to a prayer
Please take this letter to Cosette
And pray to God that she's still there

[ÉPONINE]
Little you know
Little you care!
