Lyrics
HAMILTON:
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
BURR:
Well that depends, who's asking?
HAMILTON:
Oh well sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton
I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
BURR:
I'm getting nervous
HAMILTON:
Sir, I heard your name at Princeton
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours
I may have punched him
It's a blur, sir
He handles the financials?
BURR:
You punched the bursar
HAMILTON:
Yes, I wanted to do what you did
Graduate in two and join the revolution
He looked at me like I was stupid
I'm not stupid
So how'd you do it
How'd you graduate so fast?
BURR:
It was my parents dying wish before they passed
HAMILTON:
You're an orphan, of course, I'm an orphan
God, I wish there was a war then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for
BURR:
Can I buy you a drink?
HAMILTON:
That would be nice
BURR:
And while we're talking let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
HAMILTON:
What?
BURR:
Smile more
HAMILTON:
Ha...
BURR:
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
HAMILTON:
You can't be serious
BURR:
You wanna get ahead?
HAMILTON:
Yes.
BURR:
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
LAURENS:
A y-yo y-yo yo, what time is it?
MULLIGAN + LAFAYETTE:
Showtime!
BURR:
Like I said...
LAURENS:
Showtime, showtime yo!
I'm John Laurens in the place to be
A-two pints o' Sam Adams but I'm working on three
Ha!
Those redcoats don't want it with me
Cause I will pop-chicka-prrop these cops till I'm free
LAFAYETTE:
Oui, oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set
I came from afar just to say bonsoir
To the king, "Casse toi"
Who is the best? C'est moi!
MULLIGAN:
Brrah, brrah
I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it
Yes I heard your mother said "Come again!"
Lock up your daughters and horses
Of course, it's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets
LAURENS:
No more sex! Pour me another brew, son
Let's raise a couple more
ALL:
To the revolution!
LAURENS:
Well if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College
MULLIGAN:
Aaron Burr
LAURENS:
Give us a verse
Drop some knowledge
BURR:
Good luck with that
You're taking a stand
You spit, Imma sit
We'll see where we land
