"Right Hand Man"
[Company:]
British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
[Ensemble 1 (Ensemble 2):]
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
(Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor)
When they surround our troops!
(They surround our troops!)
When they surround our troops!
[Hamilton:]
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war
I knew that I was poor
I knew it was the only way to
[Hamilton/Burr/Mulligan/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Rise up!
[Hamilton:]
If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or
[Hamilton/Burr/Mulligan/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Rise up!
[Hamilton:]
I will fight for this land
But there's only one man
Who can give us a command so we can—
[Hamilton/Burr/Mulligan/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Rise up!
[Hamilton:]
Understand? It's the only way to
[Hamilton/Burr/Mulligan/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Rise up! Rise up!
[Hamilton:]
Here he comes!
[Ensemble:]
Here comes the General!
[Burr:]
Ladies and gentlemen!
[Ensemble:]
Here comes the General!
[Burr:]
The moment you've been waiting for!
[Ensemble:]
Here comes the General!
[Burr:]
The pride of Mount Vernon!
[Ensemble:]
Here comes the General!
[Burr:]
George Washington!
[Washington (Ensemble):]
We are outgunned (What?)
Outmanned (What?)
Outnumbered
Outplanned (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
We gotta make an all out stand
