Day 1016, Do You Hear the People Boo? (1)

 

Chorus:

Do you hear the people boo, angry women and angry men?

It is the thunder of a people who will not be fooled again.

Let the beating of our hearts echo the beating of the drums,

As we go marching in the streets when impeachment comes.

 

Come and join in our parade; come take my hand and march with me.

We’ll join in a crusade to fight to save democracy,

The power of the people to stand against autocracy.

 

Chorus:

Do you hear the people boo…..

 

You must give all you can give because this may be our last chance.

Can democracy still live if we remain Trump’s sycophants?

And Donald’s controlled by the point of a sharp, Russian lance?

 

 

Chorus:

Do you hear the people boo, angry women and angry men?

It is the thunder of a people who will not be fooled again.

Let the beating of our hearts echo the beating of the drums,

As we go marching in the streets when impeachment comes.

 

(1)  May be sung to: Do You Hear the People Sing, from Les Miserables,

the musical adapted from Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel.  Book by Alain Boublil;

French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel.  Music by Claude Schonberg.

The musical debuted in Paris in 1980 and the English version debuted in London in 1985 and ran until 2019.

This current version was inspired by the booing of the president by the baseball crowd in Washington, DC, when he attended the fifth game of the 2019 Baseball World Series.
