Guns and Ships |
| How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower |
| Somehow defeat a global superpower? |
| How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire? |
| Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross’ flag higher? |
| Yo. |
| Turns out we have a secret weapon! |
| An immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in! |
| He’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the British henchmen |
| Ev’ryone give it up for America’s favorite fighting Frenchman! |
| Lafayette! |
| I’m takin this horse by the reins makin’ |
| Redcoats redder with bloodstains |
| Lafayette! |
| And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em |
| Drop and burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I’m |
| Lafayette! |
| Watch me engagin’ em! |
| Escapin’ em! |
| Enragin’ em! |
| I’m— |
| Lafayette! |
| I go to France for more funds |
| Lafayette! |
| I come back with more |
| Guns |
| And ships |
| And so the balance shifts |
| We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts |
| We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but |
| For this to succeed, there is someone else we need: |
| I know |
| Hamilton! |
| Sir, he knows what to do in a trench |
| Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean— |
| Hamilton! |
| Sir, you’re gonna have to use him eventually |
| What’s he gonna do on the bench? |
| I mean— |
| Hamilton! |
| No one has more resilience |
| Or matches my practical tactical brilliance— |
| Hamilton! |
| You wanna fight for your land back? |
| I need my right hand man back! |
| Ah! |
| Uh, get ya right hand man back |
| You know you gotta get ya right hand man back |
| I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter but the sooner the better |
| To get your right hand man back! |
| Hamilton! |
| Hamilton! |
| Hamilton! |
| Hamilton, Hamilton! |
| Ha— ha—! |
| Get your right hand man back! |
| Your right hand man back! |
| Hamilton! |
| Ha— |
| Ha— |
| Hamilton, Hamilton! |
| Ha— ha—! |
| Alexander Hamilton |
| Troops are waiting in the field for you |
| If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide |
| Oh, Alexander Hamilton |
| I have soldiers that will yield for you |
| If we manage to get this right |
| They’ll surrender by early light |
| The world will never be the same, Alexander… |
