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?
