Alms for the Beggarman

Alms for the beggar man
Please help the indigent of Paris
Madame I need a bit of sympathy

Alms for the beggar man
Who's there, don't be afraid of touching me
Blindness is not exactly leprosy

Alms for the beggar man
Kind sir can you spare a franc for some food
I'll take any gift you give but shoes
Merci beaucoup
Merci beaucoup

Thank you sir
Thank you
My family thanks you
If I had one that is

Oh Madame thank you
If I could see you I would--
But of course I can't
Maybe I could touch you instead

Clopin
The coast is all clear...

Arms for the beggar man
Hey look, these were hiding inside my clothes
At last I've got some hands to pick my nose

My God it's a miracle
My eyes have suddenly begun to see
Turns out it was just this handkerchief

Mats oui, call the doctors and physicians
To see

My legs in excellent reconditioned

We three, suddenly have found religion

Look in my eyes

At my arms

And my legs

And you'll see a true epiphany

We are the kings of lies disguise and deception

We've performed incredible feats
When we beg or steal it's devoid of detection

Hear no evil

See no evil

Real work is simply out of the question
There's no occupation
For gypsies crooks and thieves
So come on boys let's count up all the donations

Clopin looks like we made a killing
Split the take and have a little libation

I could go for a drink myself

Hard work deserves a little vacation
A celebration, so join us in this dance

Alms for the beggar man
Reach out to someone who truly needs

Kind sir I'm in the depths of misery

We are the beggar men
We'll take anything you have to give
Voila!
After all we have to live
To live
Please give
Please give
