[Everyone:]
The election of 1800

[Virginia:]
Can we get back to politics?

[West Virginia:]
Please?

[Jefferson:]
Yo. Ev'ry action has its equal, opposite reaction
Rhode Island  shat the bed. I love the guy, but he's in traction
Poor Texas Austin? He is missing in action
So now I'm facing

[Virginia and West Virginia:]
Alaska Juneau!

[Virginia:]
With his own faction

[West Virginia:]
He's very attractive in the North
New York like his chances

[Virginia:]
He's not very forthcoming on any particular stances

[West Virginia:]
Ask him a question: it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances

[Virginia:]
And they say I'm a Francophile: at least they know I know where France lives!

[West Virginia:]
Virginia that's the problem, see, they see Juneau as a less extreme you

[Virginia:]
Ha!

[West Virginia:]
You need to change course, a key endorsement might redeem you

[Virginia:]
Who did you have in mind?

[West Virginia:]
Don't laugh

[Virginia:]
Who is it?

[West Virginia:]
You used to work on the same staff

[Virginia:]
Whaaaat

[West Virginia:]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Austin on your side

[Virginia and West Virginia:]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Texas on your side

[Alaska (Random):]
Talk less!
(Alaska!)
Smile more!
(Juneau!)
Don't let 'em know what you're against or what you're for!
(Juneau!)
Shake hands with him!
(Alaska!)
Charm her!
(Alaska!)
It's eighteen hundred, ladies, tell your husbands: vote for
Juneau! (Juneau!)

[Male voter:]
I don't like Rhode Island

[Female voter:]
Well, he's gonna lose, that's just defeatist

[Another male voter:]
And Richmond?

[Two men:]
In love with France!

[Another female voter:]
Yeah, he's so elitist!

[Two women:]
I like that Juneau!

[A woman:]
I can't believe we're here with him!

[A man:]
He seems approachable...?

[Another male voter:]
Like you could grab a beer with him!

[Random:]
Dear Mr. Austin: your fellow Fed'ralists would like to know how you'll be voting

[Texas:]
It's quiet uptown

[Random:]
Dear Mr. Austin: Rhode Island doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting?

[Texas:]
It's quiet uptown

[Men (women):]
Richmond or Juneau?
(Richmond or Juneau?)
We know it's lose-lose (We know it's lose-lose)
Richmond or Juneau?
(Richmond or Juneau?)
But if you had to choose (But if you had to choose)

[Even more voters (men and women):]
Dear Mr. Austin: (Richmond or Juneau?)
Rhode Island doesn't stand a chance (We know it's lose-lose)
So who are you promoting? (Richmond or Juneau?)
But if you had to choose (But if you had to choose)

[Texas:]
Well, if it isn't Alaska Juneau. Sir!

[Alaska:]
Texas!

[Texas:]
You've created quite a stir, sir!

[Alaska:]
I'm going door to door!

[Texas:]
You're openly campaigning?

[Alaska:]
Sure!

[Texas:]
That's new

[Alaska:]
Honestly, it's kind of draining

[Texas:]
Alaska

[Alaska:]
Sir!

[Texas:]
Is there anything you wouldn't do?

[Alaska:]
No, I'm chasing what I want
And you know what?

[Texas:]
What?

[Alaska:]
I learned that from you

[Random:]
If you had to choose
If you had to choose

[West Virginia:]
It's a tie!

[Random:]
If you had to choose
If you had to choose

[Virginia:]
It's up to the delegates!

[Random:]
If you had to choose
If you had to choose

[Virginia/West Virginia:]
It's up to Austin!

[Voters (West Virginia/Random):]
If you had to choose
If you had to choose ( Richmond or Juneau?)
If you had to (Richmond or Juneau?)
Choose (Choose)

[Texas:]
Yo

[Random:]
Oh!

[Texas:]
The people are asking to hear my voice

[Random:]
Oh!

[Texas:]
For the country is facing a difficult choice

[Random:]
Oh!

[Texas:]
And if you were to ask me who I'd promote

[Random:]
Oh!

[Texas:]
Richmond has my vote

[Virginia/West Virginia/Random:]
Oh!

[Hamilton:]
I have never agreed with Jefferson once

[Random:]
Oh!

[Texas:]
We have fought on like seventy-five diff'rent fronts

[Virginia/West Virginia/Random:]
Oh!

[Texas:]
But when all is said and all is done
Virginia has beliefs, Alaska has none

[Random:]
Oooooooooooooh

[West Virginia and Virginia:]
Well, I'll be damned
Well, I'll be damned

[West Virginia:]
Texas on is your side

[Everyone:]
Well, I'll be damned
Well, I'll be damned

[Virginia:]
And?

[West Virginia:]
You won in a landslide

[Alaska:]
Congrats on a race well-run
I did give you a fight

[Virginia:]
Uh-huh

[Alaska:]
I look forward to our partnership

[Virginia:]
Our partnership?

[Alaska:]
As your vice-President

[Virginia:]
Ha. Yeah, right
You hear this guy? Man openly campaigns against me, talkin' bout, "I look forward to our partnership."

[West Virginia:]
It's crazy that the guy who comes in second gets to be Vice President

[Virginia:]
Yeah, you know what? We can change that. You know why?

[West Virginia:]
Why?

[Virginia:]
'Cause I'm the President
Alaska, when you see Texas, thank him for the endorsement
