*I don't own any of this besides my own changes*
[BURR]
After the war I went back to New York
[HAMILTON]
A-After the war I went back to New York
[BURR]
I finished up my studies and I practiced law
[HAMILTON]
I practiced law, Burr worked next door
[BURR]
Even though we started at the very same time
Alexandra Hamilton began to climb
How to account for her rise to the top?
Maaaaan, the girl is
[BURR & ENSEMBLE]
Non-stop!
[HAMILTON]
Ladies of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me
Are you aware that we're making hist'ry?
This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation
The liberty behind
Deliberation—
[ENSEMBLE]
Non-stop!
[HAMILTON]
I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
With my assistant counsel—
[BURR]
Co-counsel
Hamilton, sit down
Our client Levi Weeks is innocent. Call your first witness
That's all you had to say!
[HAMILTON]
Okay!
One more thing—
[BURR]
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?
Soon that attitude may be your doom!
[ENSEMBLE]
Awwww!
[BURR with ENSEMBLE]
Why do you write like you're running out of time?
Write day and night like you're running out of time?
Ev'ry day you fight, like you're running out of time
Keep on fighting. In the meantime—
[ENSEMBLE]
Non-stop!
[HAMILTON]
Corruption's such an old song that we can sing along in harmony
And nowhere is it stronger than in Albany
This colony's economy's increasingly stalling and
[HAMILTON & BURR & ENSEMBLE]
Honestly, that's why public service
Seems to be calling me
She's just non-stop!
[HAMILTON]
