The Second Attack (the Death Of Gavroche) Lyrics - Les Miserables

[The battle recommences.] 

Enjolras 

How do we stand, Feuilly? 

Make your report. 

Feuilly 

We've guns enough 

But ammunition short 

Marius 

Let me go into the streets 

There are bodies all around 

Ammunition to be had 

Lots of bullets to be found! 

Enjolras 

I won't let you go 

It's too much of a chance. 

Marius 

The same is true 

For any man here! 

Valjean 

Let me go 

He's no more than a boy 

I am old 

I have nothing to fear 

Gavroche 

You need somebody quicker 

And I volunteer! 

[Gavroche climbs the barricade.] 

Lesgles 

Come back Gavroche, don't you dare! 

Joly 

Someone pull him down at once! 

Gavroche 

Look at me, I'm almost there! 

[A shot rings out from beyond the barricade. Gavroche is hit.] 

Gavroche 

Little people know, when 

Little people fight, we 

[Another shot is fired.] 

May look easy pickings 

But we've got some bite! 

[He is hit again.] 

So never kick a dog 

Because he's just a pup 

We'll fight like twenty armies 

And we won't give up 

So you'd better run for cover 

When the pup grows...... 

[He dies.]
