Escape Through Bel-Air

Summary:

I re-wrote the Fresh Prince rap so that it describes the prison-break scene in Les Mis.

That's it, that's the fic.

Notes:

As a Christmas gift to my sister-in-law who adores Les Mis, I annotated the Julie Rose translation with literally the dumbest jokes I could think of as I read it. When I saw the prison-break scene featured a floor called "The Bel-Air" I *might* have gone a little overboard.

Please enjoy... whatever the hell this is.

Work Text:

Now this is a story all about how

My friends and I left jail for the town,

Now I’d like to take a moment, just sit right there,

I’ll tell you how my buds and I escaped through the Bel-Air.


We drilled through the chimney and climbed up the flue,

Then before you knew it we were on the roof,

No time for chillin’, relaxin’ all cool,

My dude Brujon takin’ out his rope spool,

Just a couple of guys who were up to no good,

Sliding down a rope into the neighborhood,

Babet and Montparnasse said “Pull up a chair,

Cuz now we got to wait for our friend Thenardier.”


He drugged his young guard and broke through his chains,

Got to the wall’s edge through the lightning and rain,

He almost got pinched, but we all saw his rope,

Montparnasse said, "Hang on! I'll get Petit-Gavroche!"


He… climbed… up to the roof though the weather was bad,

Had a quick realization, “Hold up! That’s my dad!”

We got him and hustled, now in the free air,

And it was all thanks to a floor called Bel-Air.
