Musical/ Broadway Lyrics

Congratulations- Hamilton

Angelica

Alexander

Congratulations

You have invented a new kind of stupid

A damage you can never undo kind of stupid

An open all the cages in the zoo kind of stupid

Truly you didn't think this through kind of stupid

Let's review

You took a rumor a few maybe two people knew

And refuted it by sharing an affair of which no one has accused you

I begged you to take a break you refused to

So scared of what your enemies will do to you

You're the only enemy you ever seem to lose to

You know why Jefferson can do what he wants

He doesn't dignify schoolyard taunts with a response

So yeah, congratulations

Angelica

You've redefined your legacy 

Congratulations  

It was an act of political sacrifice

Sacrifice

I languished in a loveless marriage in London

I lived only to read your letters

I look at you and think

God what have we done with our lives and what did it get us

That doesn't wipe the tears or the years away

But I'm back in the city and I'm here to stay

And you know what I'm here to do

Angelica

I'm not here for you

I know my sister like I know my own mind

You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind

And a million years ago she said to me

This one's mine

So I stood by

Do you know why

I love my sister more than anything in this life

I will choose her happiness over mine every time

Eliza (Eliza)

Is the best thing in our lives

So never loose sight of the fact

That you have been blessed with the best wife

Congratulations

For the rest of your life

Every sacrifice you make is for my sister

Give her the best life

Congratulations
