Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)

COMPANY]
The battle of Yorktown. 1781

At this, everyone perked up, Yorktown was the battle that would decide everything.

[LAFAYETTE]
Monsieur Hamilton

[HAMILTON]
Monsieur Lafayette

[LAFAYETTE]
In command where you belong

[HAMILTON]
How you say, no sweat
We're finally on the field. We've had quite a run

[LAFAYETTE]
Immigrants:

HAMILTON/LAFAYETTE]
We get the job done

"Hell yeah we do!" Hercules yelled as the actors high-fived on stage doing the same with Lafayette and Hamilton while Eliza glared at him for his language.

[HAMILTON]
So what happens if we win?

[LAFAYETTE]
I go back to France
I bring freedom to my people if I'm given the chance

[HAMILTON]
We'll be with you when you do

Yet when they finally need you, you completely ignore them... Jefferson though bitterly as he rolled his eyes.

[LAFAYETTE]
Go lead your men

[HAMILTON]
See you on the other side

[LAFAYETTE]
'Til we meet again, let's go!

[ENSEMBLE]
I am not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
Hey yo, I'm just like my country, I'm young
Scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!

"No, not this again!" Madison groaned, he hated the repetition of that song.

[HAMILTON]
'Til the world turns upside down...

[ENSEMBLE]
'Til the world turns upside down!
[HAMILTON]
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
This is where it gets me: on my feet
The enemy ahead of me
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me
Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me

Eliza frowned, did she or their son even cross his mind when he was doing all of these dangerous things?

Then I remember my Eliza's expecting me...
Not only that, my Eliza's expecting
We gotta go, gotta get the job done
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!

"You thought about me?" Eliza asked, her frown melting into her trademark sweet smile, the happiness evident in her voice.

"Of course," Alexander said, snuggling up to his wife, clearly offended she would think different, "you and Philip are my first thoughts when I wake up in the morning and my last thoughts when I close my eyes."

Take the bullets out your gun!

"What what? Why would you do that?" Jefferson asked, raising his eyebrows in suspicion.

i[ENSEMBLE]
What?

[HAMILTON]
The bullets out your gun!

[ENSEMBLE]
What?

[HAMILTON]
We move under cover and we move as one
Through the night, we have one shot to live another day
We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away
