City Under Siege
[Chorus]
City under siege
There are soldiers marching in the street. (Miserere)
City under siege
There are cries at night and running feet. (Miserere)

[CLOPIN]
Frollo and his legions
Policing the towns unceasingly
Cordoning the regions
And searching them one by one

[Chorus]
Little did we know
When our Justice minister
Said the gypsies ought
To be brought to none
Somehow it would grow
Into something sinister
'til we all were caught
In a city under siege


City under siege
There are squadrons flanking every side
City under siege
And it's hard to find a place to hide
Armored men on horses
Imposing a state of martial law
Marshaling their forces
To finish what they begun
Justice Frollo told us
That he was freeing us
From the gypsy hordes
Who would overrun
Now we got his soldiers
Overseeing us
Brandishing their swords
In a city under siege
