Burr:
There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown
And slumming it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk
At the students in the common
Just to watch them talk
Take Philip Schuyler
The man is loaded
Uh oh
But little does he know that
His daughters Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at
The Schuyler Sisters:
Work work!
Angelica!
Work work!
Eliza!
And Peggy
The Schuyler Sisters
Angelica, Peggy, Eliza
Work!
Daddy said to be home by sundown
Daddy doesn't need to know
Daddy said not to go downtown
Like I said you're free to go
But look around look around
The revolution's happening in
New York New York
Angelica! Work!
It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war
People shouting in the square
It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
New ideas in the air
Look around look around
Angelica, remind me what we're looking for
She's looking for me
Eliza, I'm looking for a mind at
Work work
I'm looking for a mind at work work
I'm looking for a mind at work work
Woah woah work
Burr:
There's nothing like summer in the city
Someone in a rush
Next to someone looking pretty
Excuse me miss, I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your
Daddy's got money
Why you slumming in the city in your fancy heels
You searching for an urchin
Who can give you ideals
Angelica:
Burr, you disgust me
Burr:
Ah, so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund
Baby you can trust me
Angelica:
I've been reading "Common Sense"
By Thomas Paine
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution
I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration
The Schuyler Sisters:
We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal
Angelica:
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson
Ugh!
Ima compel him to include
Women in the sequel
Work!
Look around look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
Look around look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
History is happening in Manhattan
And we just happen to be in the
Greatest city in the world
In the greatest city in the world
Cause I've been reading "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine
(Look around look around)
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
(The revolution's happening in-)
You want a revolution
I want a revelation
(New York! In New York)
So listen to my declaration
We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal
(Look around look around)
Look around look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
History is happening in Manhattan
And we just happen to be in the
Greatest city in the world
(In the greatest city-)
In the greatest city in the world!
Work work!
Angelica!
Work work!
Eliza!
And Peggy!
The Schuyler Sisters!
We're looking for a mind at work work
(Work work)
Hey!
Whooa!
In the greatest city-
In the greatest city
Whooa!
In the world
(In the greatest city in the world!)
