[Burr:]
There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor

With that line every rich person in the room raised their eyebrow at Burr.

"What, it's true.", he said defensively.

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

All of the Schuyler sisters perked up at the mention of their father.

Uh-oh, but little does he know that
His daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at

[Company:]
Work, work!
[Angelica:]
Angelica!

"Oh! That's me! " Angelica said looking at her onstage counterpart.

[Company:]
Work, work!
[Eliza:]

"You look beautiful!" Peggy said seeing her sister's counterpart.

"Of course she does." Chaos chimed in with a grin, "She plays Eliza."

Eliza!
[Peggy:]
And Peggy!

"And their you are little sis!" Angelica said, hugging Peggy.

[Company:]
Work, work!
The Schuyler sisters!
[Angelica:]
Angelica!
[Peggy:]
Peggy!
[Eliza:]
Eliza!
[Company:]
Work!

[Peggy:]
Daddy said to be home by sundown
[Angelica:]
Daddy doesn't need to know
[Peggy:]
Daddy said not to go downtown
[Eliza:]
Like I said, you're free to go

"What! Mom braking the rules! I didn't think that was physically possible." Phillip said with a mock look of shock and earning a couple chuckles.

[Angelica:]
But look around, look around
The revolution's happening in New York
[Eliza/Peggy:]
New York
[Company:]
Angelica
[Schuyler Sisters and company:]
Work!

[Peggy:]
It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war
[Eliza:]
People shouting in the square

"I think you mean Alexander shouting in the square." Lafayette proclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Eliza asked.

"Oh you'll see." Chaos said with a look of mischief in her eyes.

[Peggy:]
It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
[Angelica:]
New ideas in the air
[Angelica and Male Ensemble:]
Look around, look around
[Eliza:]
Angelica, remind me what we're looking for...
[All men:]
She's lookin' for me!

"Yeah right." Angelica scoffed.

[Angelica (Company):]
Eliza, I'm lookin' for a mind at work (Work, work!)
I'm lookin' for a mind at work! (Work, work!)
I'm lookin' for a mind at work! (Work, work!)
Whooaaaaa!

[Eliza/Angelica/Peggy:]
Whooaaaaa!
Work!

[Burr:]
Wooh! There's nothin' like summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money

"Oh god, why." Burr said said, hiding his face in his hands

"Wow Burr, we really need to teach you how to flirt with girls" Alex said with a chuckle while Burr sent him a death glare.

Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels
You searching for an urchin who can give you ideals?

[Angelica:]
Burr, you disgust me

"Ouch, that's brutal." Hercules said with a wince.

[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:
[Eliza/Angelica/Peggy:]
"We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal"
[Angelica:]
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson

"What about me?" Thomas said, perking up at the mention of his name and words.

[Company:]
Unh!
[Angelica:]
I'mma compel him to include women in the sequel!

"Oh and how are you going to do that?" He said with a cocky grin.

"You'll see..." Angelica said with an evil grin and a murderous look in her eye.

[Women:]
Work!

[Eliza:]
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!
[Eliza/Peggy:]
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!
[Eliza/Angelica/Peggy:]
History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world!

"Um I think you mean London, you should see it, it's lovely." King George said.

[Schuyler Sisters and Company:]
In the greatest city in the world!

[Angelica (Eliza/Peggy) {men}:]
'Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine (Look around, look around) {Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!}
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane (The revolution's happening in) {Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!}
[Angelica (Eliza/Peggy) {women}:]
You want a revolution? I want a revelation (New York! In New York!) {Look around, look around the revolution's happening}
So listen to my declaration:
[Angelica/Eliza/Peggy (Women Ensemble):]
We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal (Look around, look around)
Whoo! (At how lucky we are to be alive right now)

"Wow, all of the voices coming together, it sounds so beautiful." Eliza said, being in in awe of what people will be able to do in 200 years.

"I know right, that's is why it's one of my favorite songs." Chaos said, happy that they where enjoying this.

[Full Company:]
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
[All women:]
In the greatest city in the world
[All men:]
In the greatest city

In the greatest city in the world!
