What'd I Miss? |
| Seventeen. |
| Se-se-seventeen… |
| Se-se-seventeen… |
| How does the bastard orphan |
| Immigrant decorated war vet |
| Unite the colonies through more debt? |
| Fight the other founding fathers 'til he has to forfeit? |
| Have it all, lose it all |
| You ready for more yet? |
| Treasury Secretary. |
| Washington’s the President |
| Every American experiment sets a precedent |
| Not so fast. |
| Someone came along to resist him |
| Pissed him off until we had a two-party system |
| You haven’t met him yet, you haven’t had the chance |
| 'Cause he’s been kickin' ass as the ambassador to France |
| But someone’s gotta keep the American promise |
| You simply must meet Thomas. |
| Thomas! |
| Thomas Jefferson’s coming home! |
| Thomas Jefferson’s coming home! |
| Thomas Jefferson’s coming home! |
| Thomas Jefferson’s coming home! |
| Thomas Jefferson’s coming home |
| Lord he’s been off in Paris for so long! |
| Ah-ooh! |
| Ah-ooh! |
| France is following us to revolution |
| There is no more status quo |
| But the sun comes up |
| And the world still spins |
| Ah-ooh! |
| I helped Lafayette draft a declaration |
| Then I said, «I gotta go |
| I gotta be in Monticello.» |
| Now the work at home begins… |
| Ah-ooh! |
| So what did I miss? |
| What did I miss? |
| Hmm |
| Virginia, my home sweet home, I wanna give you a kiss |
| Muah |
| I’ve been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies… |
| I guess I basically missed the late eighties… |
| I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this… |
| Ah-ooh! |
| There’s a letter on my desk from the President |
| Haven’t even put my bag down yet |
| Sally be a lamb, darlin', won’t you open it? |
| It says the President’s assembling a cabinet |
| And that I am to be the Secretary of State, great! |
| And that I’m already Senate-approved… |
| I just got home and now I’m headed up to New York |
| Headin' to New York! |
| Headin' to New York! |
| Lookin' at the rolling fields |
| I can’t believe that we are free (Believe that we are free) |
| Ready to face whatever’s awaiting |
| Me in N.Y.C. |
| (Me in N.Y.C.) |
| But who’s waitin' for me when I step in the place? |
| My friend James Madison, red in the face |
| He grabs my arm and I respond, |
| «What's goin' on?"(Ah-ooh!) |
| Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation’s very soul |
| Can you get us out of the mess we’re in? |
| Ah-ooh! |
| Hamilton’s new financial plan is nothing less |
| Than government control |
| I’ve been fighting for the South alone |
| Where have you been? |
| Uh… France |
| Ah-ooh! |
| We have to win |
| Well, what’d I miss? |
| (What? What? What’d I miss?) |
| What’d I miss? |
| (I've come home to this?) |
| Headfirst into a political abyss! |
| (Headfirst, into the abyss!) |
| I have my first cabinet meeting today |
| (Chik-a-pow!) |
| I guess I better think of something to say |
| I’m already on my way (On my way) |
| To get to the bottom of this… |
| (What did I miss? Ah ah!) |
| Mr. Jefferson, welcome home |
| Mr. Jefferson? |
| Alexander Hamilton |
| Mr. Jefferson, welcome home |
| Mr. Jefferson, welcome home |
| Sir, you’ve been off in Paris for so long! |
| So what did I miss? |
