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? |
