Lyrics
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir? That depends, who's asking? Oh well sure, sir I'm Alexander Hamilton I'm at your service, sir I have been looking for you I'm getting nervous Sir, I heard your name at Princeton I was seeking an accelerated course of study When I got sort out of sorts with a buddy of yours I may have punched him It's a blur, sir He handles the financials— You punched the bursar? Yes, I wanted to do what you did Graduate in two, then join the revolution He looked at me like I was stupid I'm not stupid So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast? It was my parents' dying wish before they passed You're an orphan Of course, I'm an orphan God, I wish there was a war! Then we could prove that we're worth more Than anyone bargained for Can I buy you a drink? That would be nice While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice Talk less What? Smile more Ha Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for You can't be serious You want to get ahead? Yes Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead Yo yo yo yo yo! What time is it? LAURENS, MULLIGAN: Showtime! ...like I said... Showtime! Showtime! Yo! I'm John Laurens in the place to be! Uh, two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm working on three, uh! Those redcoats don't want it with me Cause I will pop chick-a-pop these cops 'til I'm free! Ah oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette! The Lancelot of the revolutionary set! I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!" Tell the king, "Casse-toi!" Who's the best? C'est moi! Brrrah, brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan Up in it, lovin' it Yes I heard your mother say "come again?" LAURENS, LAFAYETTE: Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Lock up your daughters and horses, of course It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets Wow No more sex Pour me another brew, son! Let's raise a couple more LAURENS, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN: To the revolution! Well if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College Aaron Burr Give us a verse, drop some knowledge Good luck with that You're takin' a stand You spit, I'mma sit We'll see where we land LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN: Booooo/Ohhhhhh Burr, the revolution's imminent What do you stall for? If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for? LAURENS, MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE: Oooh Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? LAURENS, MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE: Who, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
