Alain Boublil - Little People Lyrics

[GAVROCHE]
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 little people turn it around

A worm can roll a stone, a bee can sting a bear
A fly can fly around Versailles 'cause 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

[GAVROCHE & ENSEMBLE]
A worm can roll a stone, a bee can sting a bear
A fly can fly around Versailles 'cause 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 kind of 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
'Cause 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

[GAVROCHE & ENSEMBLE]
A worm can roll a stone, a bee can sting a bear
A fly can fly around Versailles 'cause 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
