RED AND BLACK
 

This is a parody of Red and Black from Les Mis. Please do not take this seriously. We do not condone bestiality, and we're not making any money from this. It sprung from a misheard lyric (a mondegreen - who says this isn't educational?) of 'goat' instead of 'ghost' by The Nerk. And being who we are, we couldn't leave it well alone.


ENJORAS
Marius, you're late

JOLY
What's wrong today?
You look as if you're seeing a goat.

GRANTAIRE
Some wine and say what's going on!

MARIUS
A goat you say...a goat maybe
She was just like a goat to me
One minute there then she was gone.

GRANTAIRE
I am agog!
I am aghast!
Is Marius in love at last?
I've never seen him 'moo' or 'baa'.
We balk at cattle to be done
Why does Marius get all the fun?
This has been his best idea by far.

ENJOLRAS
It is time for us all to decide who we are
Do we fight for the right
To a night with a goat or a cow?
Have you asked of yourselves
What's the price you might pay?
Is it simply a game
For rich young boys to play?
The color of the world
Is changing day by day...

Red - the blood of angry men!
Black - the dark of ages past!
Red - a world about to dawn!
Black - the night that ends at last!

MARIUS
Had you been there tonight
You might know how it feels
To be struck to the bone
In a moment of breathless delight!
Had you been there tonight
You might also have known
How the world may be changed
In just one burst of light!
And what was right seems wrong
And what was wrong seems right!

GRANTAIRE
Red...

MARIUS
I feel my soul on fire!

GRANTAIRE
Black...

MARIUS
My world if she's not there!

ALL
Red...

MARIUS
The color of desire!

ALL
Black...

MARIUS
The color of despair!
