Hamilton: An American Musical (Genderbent)

#26 Take A Break

[ELIZA & PHILIP]

Un deux trois quatre

Cinq six sept huit neuf (Un deux trois quatre)

Cinq six sept huit neuf

Good! Un deux trois quatre

Cinq six sept huit neuf (Un deux trois quatre)

Cinq six sept huit neuf

Sept huit neuf—

Sept huit neuf—

Sept huit neuf—

Sept huit neuf—

[ELIZA AND PHILIP]

One two three four five six seven eight nine!

[HAMILTON]

My dearest, Angelo

"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 ass, a massive pain

Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff

And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane

[HAMILTON/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

[HAMILTON]

I am on my way

[ELIZA]

There's a little surprise before supper

And it cannot wait

[HAMILTON]

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

[ELIZA]

Alexandra—

[HAMILTON]

Okay, okay—

[ELIZA]

Your daughter's nine years old today

And she has something that she'd like to say

She's been practicing all day

Philipa, take it away—

[PHILIP & HAMILTON]

Mommy, mommy, look—

The name's Philipa

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

What!

I practice French
