Ex-Wives (Six x Hamilton)

[A/N: Okay, so I've had an idea where it's "Six" but the wives of Adams, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lafayette, Burr, and Jay. Here is their version of "Ex-wives"!]

[Abigail Adams:]
Stood firm...

[Martha Jefferson]
Replaced...

[Eliza Hamilton:]
Betrayed...

[Theodosia Burr:]
Died...

[Sarah Jay:]
Got ill...

[Adrienne De Lafayette]
Survived

[Abigail Adams]
And tonight, New York, we are...

[All:]
Live

[Abigail:]
Listen up, let me tell you a story

[Martha:]
A story that you think
You've heard before

[Eliza:]
We know you know their names
And their fame and their faces

[Theodosia:]
Know all about the glories
And the disgraces

[Sarah:]
I'm done 'cause all this time
I've been just one word
In some history book...

[Adrienne]
So I picked up a pen and a microphone...

[All:]

History's about to get overthrown!

[Abigail Adams:]
Stood firm...

[Martha Jefferson]
Replaced...

[Eliza Hamilton:]
Betrayed...

[Theodosia Burr:]
Died...

[Sarah Jay:]
Got ill...

[Adrienne De Lafayette]
Survived

[All:]
But just for you tonight, we stood firm, and we are...
LIVE!
Welcome to the show, to the historemix
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be their wives
Raising up the roof 'till we hit the ceiling
Get ready for the truth that we'll be revealing
Everybody knows that we used to be their wives
...but now we're ex-wives

[Abigail:]
All you ever hear and read about

[Martha:]
Is our men and the way it ended

[Eliza:]
But a pair doesn't beat a royal flush

[Theodosia:]
You're gonna find out how went down for us!

[Sarah]
Tonight we gonna do ourselves justice 'cause we're taking you to court

[Adrienne:]
And every Founding Father has his flaws, and you're gonna hear 'em live in consort

[Abigail Adams:]
Stood firm...

[Martha Jefferson]
Replaced...

[Eliza Hamilton:]
Betrayed...

[Theodosia Burr:]
Died...

[Sarah Jay:]
Got ill...

[Adrienne De Lafayette]
Survived

[All:]
But just for you tonight, we stood firm, and we are...
LIVE!
Welcome to the show, to the historemix
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be their wives

Dancing to the beat 'till the break of day, once
We're done, we'll start again, like it's the Renaissance
Everybody knows
That we used to be their wives
...but now we're ex-wives

Stood firm

[Abigail:]
My name is Abigail Adams, I..
Was married 54 years, I'm an advocate
Of woman's rights, my loyalty is to my husband,
So if you try to stop my causes, you won't try that again!

[All:]

Replaced

[Martha]
I'm Jefferson's wife
And I'm up next, see
I died after giving birth
Yeah, that's what happened.
Why did I get replaced.
Well that slave you may like,
But I won't get dumped!

[All:]
Betrayed

[Eliza:]
Eliza Schuyler, the only one they truly love!

[All:]
Rude

[Eliza:]
When my husband cheated on me
I burned his letters,
But I'm not what I seem
Stick around and you'll
Suddenly see more...

[All:]
Died

[Theodosia:]
I am Theodosia Burr!

[All:]
Yeah...

[Theodosia:]
When Aaron saw me of course, he was like...

[All:]
Yeah!

[Theodosia:]
But I died when my daughter was only a child
Funny how we all discuss that
But never Aaron's little...

[Sarah:]
Prick up your ears, I'm the Sarah who got sick and died

[All:]
Fell ill

[Sarah]

I would get so sick, I couldn't get out of bed
But when I arrived, I would cause such a scene,
S. Livingston's here
And the fun's begun

[All:]
Survived

[Adrienne:]
Five down, I'm the final wife
I stood by Laf to the end of his life
I'm the survivor, Adrienne
I bet you wanna know how I got this far
I said I bet you wanna know
How we got this far

[All:]
Do you wanna know how we got this far?
Then welcome to the show, to the historemix
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be their wives
Get your hands up, get this party buzzing
You want the Founders' wives, well there's half a dozen
Everybody knows that we used to be their wives
But now we're ex-wives!
