Lyrics to Javert's Intervention
Javert's Intervention Video:
[Javert and constables break up the fight.Valjean picks himself up and looks for Cosette, who is with Marius.] JavertAnother brawl in the squareAnother stink in the air!Was there a witness to this?Well, let him speak to Javert!M'sieur, the streets are not safe,But let these vermin bewareWe'll see that justice is done! Look upon this fine collectionCrawled from underneath a stoneThis swarm of worms and maggotsCould have picked you to the bone!I know this man over hereI know his name and his tradeAnd on your witness, M'sieur,We'll see him suitably paid. [Valjean and Cosette have disappeared.] But where's the gentleman gone?And why on earth did he run? ThenardierYou will have a job to catch himHe's the one you should arrestNo more bourgeois when you scratch himThan that brand upon his chest! [The constables search for Valjean.] JavertCould it be he's some old jailbirdThat the tide now washes inHeard my name and started runningHad the brand upon his skinAnd the girl who stood beside himWhen I turned they both had goneCould he be the man I've hunted?Could it be he's Jean Valjean? ThenardierIn the absence of a victim,Dear Inspector, may I go?And remember when you've nicked him,It was me who told you so! JavertLet the old man keep on runningI will run him off his feet! Everyone about your businessClear this garbage off the street!
