| The Battle of Yorktown.
|
| Seventeen Eighty-one.
|
| Monsieur Hamilton.
|
| Monsieur Lafayette.
|
| In command where you belong.
|
| Are you saying, 'No Sweat''
|
| We're finally on the field,
|
| We've had quite a run.
|
| Immigrants'
|
| We get the job done!
|
| So what happens if we win'
|
| I go back to France.
|
| I bring freedom to me people,
|
| If I'm given the chance.
|
| We'll be with you when you do.
|
| Go lead your men.
|
| I'll see you on the other side.
|
| 'Till we meet again.
|
| I am not throwing away my shot!
|
| I am not throwing away my shot!
|
| Yo, I'm just like my country,
|
| I'm young, scrappy, and hungry,
|
| And I am not throwing away my shot!
|
| I am not throwing away my shot!
|
| ('Till the world turns upside down.)
|
| 'Till the world turns upside down'
|
| I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.
|
| This is where it gets me,
|
| On my feet, the enemy ahead of me.
|
| If this is the end of me,
|
| At least I have a friend with me.
|
| Weapon in my head,
|
| In command of my men with me.
|
| Then I remember my Eliza's expecting me,
|
| Not only that, my Eliza's expecting.
|
| You gotta go,
|
| Gotta get the job done,
|
| Gotta start a new nation,
|
| Gotta meet my son.
|
| Get yo bullets out yo guns,
|
| Get yo bullets out yo guns.
|
| We move under cover,
|
| And we move as one.
|
| Through the night we have one shot to live another day.
|
| We can not let a stray gunshot give us away.
|
| We will fight up close,
|
| Seize the moment and stay in it.
|
| It's either that or meet the business end of a bayonet.
|
| The code word is, 'Ro-Sham-Bo.'
|
| Dig me'
|
| Ro-Sham-Bo!
|
| You have your orders now,
|
| Go man, go!
|
| And so the American experiment begins,
|
| With my friends all scattered to the winds,
|
| Laurens is South Carolina,
|
| Redefining bravery.
|
| We'll never be free until we end slavery.
|
| When we finally drive the British away,
|
| Lafayette is there waiting,
|
| In Chesapeake Bay.
|
| How did we know that this plan would work'
|
| We had a spy on the inside,
|
| That's right:
|
| Hercules Mulligan!
|
| Tell I'm spying on the British Government,
|
| I take the measurement information and then I smuggle it,
|
| To my brothers, revolutionary coming in,
|
| I'm running with the sons of liberty and I am loving it!
|
| See that's what happens when you're up against the ruffians.
|
| We in the s*** now,
|
| Somebody gotta shovel it.
|
| Hercules Mulligan,
|
| I need no introduction,
|
| When you knock me down,
|
| I get the f*** back up again!
|
| After a week of fighting,
|
| A young man in a red coat stands on a parapet.
|
| We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief.
|
| And just like that it's over,
|
| We tend to our wounded,
|
| We count our dead.
|
| Black and White soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom.
|
| Not yet.
|
| We negotiate the terms of surrender.
|
| I see George Washington smile.
|
| We escort their men out of Yorktown.
|
| They stagger home, single file.
|
| Tens of thousands of people flood the streets,
|
| There are screams and church bells ringing.
|
| And as our fallen foes retreat,
|
| I hear the drinking song they're singing.
|
| The world turned upside down.
|
| The world turned upside down.
|
| The world turned upside down.
|
| The world turned upside down, down...
|
| Down, down, down!
|
| Freedom for America,
|
| Freedom for France!
|
| Down, down, down!
|
| Gotta start a new nation,
|
| Gotta meet my son!
|
| Down, down, down!
|
| We won!
|
| We won!
|
| We won!
|
| We won!
|
| The world turned upside...
|
| Down! |
