[BURR]

There's nothing rich folks love more

Than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor

They pull up in their carriages and gawk

At the students in the common

Just to watch them talk

Take Philipa Schuyler: the woman's loaded

Uh-oh, but little does she know that

Her children, Paul, Angelo, Elijah

Sneak into the city just to watch all the girls at—

[COMPANY]

Work, work!

[ANGELO]

Angelo!

[COMPANY]

Work, work!

[ELIJAH]

Elijah!

[PAUL]

And Paul!

Work, work!

The Schuyler brothers!

Angelo!

[PAUL]

[PAUL]

Mother said to be home by sundown

[ANGELO]

Mommy doesn't need to know

[PAUL]

Mother said not to go downtown

[ELIJAH]

Like I said, you're free to go

[ANGELO]

But—look around, look around, the

Revolution's happening in New York

[ELIJAH/PAUL]

New York

[COMPANY]

[SCHUYLER BROTHERS AND COMPANY]

Work!

[PAUL]

It's bad enough mother wants to go to war

[ELIJAH]

People shouting in the square

[PAUL]

It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore

[ANGELO]

New ideas in the air

[ANGELO AND FEMALE ENSEMBLE]

Look around, look around—

[ELIJAH]

Angelo, remind me what we're looking for...

[ALL WOMEN]

He's lookin' for me!
