Lyrics
Here are the lyrics to the songs from Les Miz and Newsies. Even some of my own takes of the Newsies songs. (Don't ask... I was half asleep... And they have nothing to do with the story. I just wrote them on a whim, to the tune of the Newsies soundtrack. You might have to stretch it a bit in order to get the right tune. I'm lame, God help me.) Go ahead, check it out!

Gavvie!
My second favorite Gavroche, Adam Searles. (I couldn't find any pics of the French Gavroche, from the Original French Concept... whose name lacks me now. ^_^) |

Les Miz
Oh my. If I were to list all the songs, there'd be no more room. Here's a link: Les Miserables lyrics

Newsies
Same goes for Newsies. Here's an awesome site that features lyrics: Newsies lyrics
Newsies... err, not... Mind, these are a little... off...
*Reserved for Carryin' the Banner.**Reserved for Lovey-Dovey Baby.* *Mrs. Jacobs's Lullaby (Santa Fe)*
(Meos's note: I really love this one. In case some haven't noticed, just before Jack starts singing Santa Fe, he watches Mrs. Jacobs singing a lullaby to Les. Why, I don't know, since he was alseep already... ^_^;; Anyway, I based this on that little bit that is given, "go to sleep, little one...")
Oh the robins all are sleepin'
Snuggled in their nests
And it's time for you as well to go to bed
Oh the robins all are sleepin'
Tight on mother's breast
Where they lay down their precious little heads
And you'll dream
Of the stars
And the moon, she'll tell you secrets
And 'till she does, mother will rock you so
And you will sleep so soundly
Dreams will be all you'll know
Since mother's singing to you, sweet and low
And you'll fly
In the clouds
With stardust on your wings
And you can fly all throughout the night
Wish on a falling star
Wish I may, wish I might
Go to sleep
Little one
Oh, sleep tight...
There won't be any monsters there to scare you
In dreamland you're safe from the shadows here
You can play until the morning light
Then mother'll wake you, it'll be alright
Safe in mother's arms,
You will always be
She'll protect rom every frightful fright there is
And in your world of dreams
There you are always free
And when you wake, please don't you cry
Dear mother you shall see
(Humming)
Little one
Close your eyes
Let mother softly lull you
And drift into the silence of the night
You are mother's precious baby
So let her hold you tight
Don't you weep
Little one
Not even a peep
Little one
Go to sleep
Little one...
Oh the robins all are sleepin'
And the day has lost his light
Go to sleep, my little one... sleep tight...

Les!
Les Jacobs, the cutie! |
*Reserved for Sieze the Day.* *Queen of New York (King of New York)*
A man that loves me every day
A man that loves me either way
A man who'll be there for me always
A man who'll be there for all of my days!
Glory be!
I'm the queen of New York!
There I'll be!
He'll be lovin' me
Holdin' me so tight
Suddenly all is right
Whispering secrets sweetly in my ear
He'll be smiling and calling me "dear"
And could it be?
There's someone out there
Someone who will care
And tell me, I'm the queen of New York
A man that tells me I'm his dream
A man that's sweeter than ice cream
A man who'll tell me every day
"Darling I'll never go away!"
Finally
I'm the queen of New York
So maybe
I'm the queen of New York
Can't you see
I'm a dreamer
Ain't nothin' sweeter
Nothin' is neater
All my life there's been something' missin'
Dreamin' 'bout the one I should be kissin'
When I'm alone
I'm in his arms
Taken by his charms
And I'm the queen of New York
One day I know he'll come to me
And say "Girl you're the one for me"
Till then I bide my sweet ol' time
Prayin' for the day this man'll be mine!
Maybe now
I'm the queen of New York
God above!
I'm the queen of New York
Tell me how
He may find me
Lord on high
I might die
Without him there right by my side
Taking me into his mighty stride
And won't he come
Wake me from these
Hard hopeless dreams
So I'll be the queen of New York
Lovely night!
Bring me my love
Sent from above
I can be the queen of New York
And I might
Learn to be happy
Boy come get me
And make me the queen of New York!
*Bons Temps, Mals Temps (High Times, Hard Times)*
(I gotta say, I had an idea for this song, I really did. It just didn't work out, so I might use it for "The World Will Know." But in the meantime, I just decided to translate "High Times, Hard Times" into French, to the best of my ability (at least in the time span of five minutes. ^_^) Again, I can't put accents where they should be, so I tried to make do. So if I have any mistakes that you recognize, please tell me. Merci!)
Bons temps, mals temps,
Quelquefois la vie est sucre
Et quelquefois je n'ai rien pour manger
Mais je tombe toujours sur mes pieds
Alors, quand il y a des mals temps
J'attends les bons temps et puis
Je mets mon mieux et je tire ma poitrine
Et je vais aux pistes encore!
Mon ami le maire, il m'appelle aujourd'hui
Il a dit que touts les 'electeurs, ils se detournent
"Aide-moi," il a crie', "ou' ils me donnent l'hache."
J'ai dit, "Mon maire, tu dois relaxer..." Tout le monde!
Bons temps, mals temps,
Quelquefois la vie est sucre
Et quelquefois je n'ai rien pour manger
Mais je tombe toujours sur mes pieds
Alors, quand il y a des mals temps
J'attends les bons temps et puis
Je mets mon mieux et je tire ma poitrine
Et je vais aux pistes encore!
Alors, votre vieux dame ne vous aime plus
Alors vous avez peur, qu'il y a un loup 'a votre porte
Alors vous avez des gavroches, qui crient dans votre oreille
Tu en gagnes, tu en perdres, mon cher!
Bons temps, mals temps,
Quelquefois la vie est sucre
Et quelquefois je n'ai rien pour manger
Mais je tombe toujours sur mes pieds
Alors, quand il y a des mals temps
J'attends les bons temps et puis
Je mets mon mieux et je tire ma poitrine
Et je vais aux pistes encore!
Je mets mon mieux!
Et je tire ma poitrine!
Et je vais
Et je vais
Et je vais aux pistes encore!
*Les's Lullaby (Santa Fe Reprise)*
(Meos's note: This is what I think Les will sing to his children, based off of his mother's lullaby. ^_^)
Go to sleep
Little one
Though your shadows seem to haunt you
Father will make everything seem alright
(Humming)
Lay down your childish troubles
Don't be weary of the night
Close your eyes
Never fear
And never may you shed a tear
If you might,
Father's here...
*Freedom (Once and for All)*
I can't believe what I'm seein' with my eyes
Are they tellin' me lies, is it true?
Escape just might be our best plan by far
The last falling star was our clue
Far from this hell we will fly
I feel like touching the sky
I'm sure that I don't wanna stay here and rot 'till I die
The thought makes me wanna cry
Freedom don't have hardships to give
If we wanna live, we must go
No more suff'ring out there in the world
In that world that we used to know
Quick, we must get a plan
We'll think up whatever we can
We don't know how
But we gotta go now
And we'll leave behind no hopin' man
Freedom's there waitin' just beyond my reach if I'm dreamin'
Freedom might be a fair-weathered friend but I ain't complainin'
There's no choice 'tween life and death
C'mon, take one last deep breath
Stand by my side here with me
So we can be free!
If freedom is starin' ya right in the face
It's your time and your place to break free
C'mon, get all the lead outta your pants
'Cuz who knows when your next chance will be?
Watch as they all fly away
Can't we be like them someday?
Someday might come
But we're still in this slum
Ev'ry dog has his day
Anyway!
Freedom is standin' there calling out to me
Is she calling out to you as well, oh please do tell me
I can't take any more
(We can't take any more)
I can't go on keepin' the score
(We can't go on keepin' the score)
This cage made me so I can't see
Freedom will tell to me
She'll tell me who else I can be
I want, want to be free!
