Song Lyrics

Take A Break from Hamilton

Eliza:
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf

Phillip:
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf

Eliza:
Good! Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf

Phillip:
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf

Eliza:
Sept huit neuf

Phillip:
Sept huit neuf

Eliza:
Sept huit neuf

Phillip:
Sept huit neuf

Eliza and Phillip:
One two three four five six seven eight nine!

Alexander:
My dearest Angelica
'Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day'
I trust you'll understand the reference to
Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play
They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly
I'm a polymath, a pain in the a**, a massive pain
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane

Alexander and Angelica:
And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away...

Eliza:
Take a break

Alexander:
I am on my way

Eliza:
There's a little surprise before supper
And it cannot wait

Alexander:
I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate

Eliza:
Alexander

Alexander:
Okay, okay

Eliza:
Your son is nine years old today
He has something he'd like to say
He's been practicing all day
Phillip, take it away!

Phillip:
Daddy, daddy, look!
My name is Phillip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just to show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can't write mine

Alexander:
What!

Phillip:
I practice French
And play piano with my mother

Alexander:
Uh huh!

Phillip:
I have a sister, but I want a little brother

Alexander:
Okay!

Phillip:
My daddy's trying to start America's bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq!

Alexander:
Bravo!

Eliza:
Take a break

Alexander:
Hey, our kid is pretty great

Eliza:
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
