We see glum-gold alone on the sage. Light shine as he starts rapping:
"How does a b*stard, orphan, son of a wh*re
And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot
In the Caribbean by providence impoverished
In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?The ten-dollar founding father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter"
Launch pad the crashes into the stage while singing:
"By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter"
Glum-gold pushes LP away and makes his way to center stage.
"And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter"
Mrs. Beakly then comes on stage while in the background you see scrooge writing furiously.
"Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain!"
glum-gold interrupts as we see scrooge walking to the front of the stage.
"well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world is gonna know your name
What's your name, man?"
Scrooge is in center stage and a blue light shines on him.
"Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait"
Goldie comes to the center of the stage and holds scrooge's hand.
"When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick And Alex got better but his mother went quick"
Glum-gold is now on top of the wooden stairs as he starts rapping.
"Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying, "Alex, you gotta fend for yourself"He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelfThere would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship headed for the new land
In New York you can be a new man"
Everyone holds hands and sings
"In New York you can be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
In New York, New York!"
Scrooge sings:
"Just you wait!"
Everyone else comes forward and sings
Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton
We are waiting in the wings for you
Waiting in the wings for you
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time!
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton
When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote your game?
The world will never be the same!
Glum-gold shields his eyes and looks at scrooge.
"The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him
Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him"
Beakly and donald said
"Me,I fought with him"
Dewey and Lp put there hands on there hearts and sing
"we, died for him"
Gyro clutches a book
"Me, I trusted him"
Goldie, magica, and ma beagle sing
"Me, I loved him"
Glum-gold looked to the sky.
"And me, I'm the damn fool that shot him"
Everyone sings.
"There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait!"
Glum-gold asks:
"What's your name, man?"
"Alexander Hamilton"
