Enjorlas:

    Let's get down to business,
    to salute Lamarque.
    Are all of France's people,
    living in the dark?

    You're the finest friends I ever knew,
    but surely some of you will die.
    When we look the king's guard
    in the eye.

    We'll take each chair, each table,
    build a barricade.
    Turn around this country,
    with our grand crusade.

    When the battle rings with cannon fires,
    and our men are standing high,
    We will look the king's guard
    in the eye.

Gavroche:

    We'll never just run and hide!

Courfeyrac:

    Say good-bye to all my ladies!

Marius:
   
    Fight here with my friends, or find my love divine?

Joly:

    I think that I've caught the flu.

Eponine:

    Hope nobody sees right through me!

Grantaire:
   
    Now I really wish I'd had another wine!

ABC:

    Vive la France!

Enjolras:

    We have to rally the nation's people!

ABC:

    Vive la France!

Enjolras:

    And show the way that France ought to be.

ABC:

    Vive la France!

Enjolras:

    We'll stand our ground when they come to stop us,
    And after that day, we'll finally be free!

    Time is racing toward us,
    'Til the guards attack.
    load your ammunition
    so we can fight back!

    Are you ready for the rage of war?
    For the battle, now, is nigh!
    Now we look the king's guard
    in the eye.

ABC:

    Vive la France!

Enjolras:

    We have to rally the nation's people!

ABC:

    Vive la France!

Enjolras:

    And show the way that France ought to be.

ABC:

    Vive la France!

Enjolras:

    We'll stand our ground when they come to stop us,
    And after today, we'll finally be free!
Hi! This is for the Mizzie Lyric Contest at the LesMiserablesLovers group. lesmiserableslovers.deviantart… :) Singing the tune with these lyrics is suggested. If you don't know the song, Make a Man out of You, here's a link to it on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dE…

WARNING: You must know the friends of the ABC decently well from the book to get some of the lyrics. (ex. Joly, Grantire, Courfeyrac)

Anyhoo, I wanted to show my sister, ThisBirdTooHasFlown. thisbirdtoohasflown.deviantart… She came in, and started helping polish a few lyrics that were off beat or not quite right. So, thanks for that, sis! :hug: I was originally going to do a 60's song, like Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter, by Herman's Hermits, or You Won't See Me by the Beatles, but this song popped into my head, and it all just clicked. so YAY! :woohoo:

Hope you enjoy!

*Mulan and the song Make a Man Out of You belongs to Disney
**Les Miserables and it's characters belong to Victor Hugo, the author of the book.
***This parody belongs to me.
