Little People Lyrics & Chords By Les Misérables Original London Cast

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 lil' people turn it around.
A worm can roll a stone.
A bee can sting a bear.
A fly can fly around Versailles 'cos 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.
All: A worm can roll a stone.
A bee can sting a bear.
A fly can fly around Versailles 'cos 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 kinda 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
'Cos 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
All: A worm can roll a stone.
A bee can sting a bear.
A fly can fly around Versailles 'cos 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
