BURR
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!
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
I’m takin this horse by the reins makin’
Redcoats redder with bloodstains
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
And I’m never gonna
stop until I make ‘em
Drop and burn ‘em up and
scatter their remains, I’m
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
Watch me engagin’ em! Escapin’ em!
Enragin’ em! I’m
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
I go to France for more funds
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
I come back with more
LAFAYETTE AND ENSEMBLE
Guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts
WASHINGTON
We rendezvous with Rochambeau,
consolidate their gifts
LAFAYETTE
We can end this war at Yorktown,
cut them off at sea, but
For this to succeed, there
is someone else we need:
WASHINGTON
I know
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent
in French, I mean
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
Sir, you’re gonna have
to use him eventually
What’s he gonna do on the bench? I mean
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical
tactical brilliance
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
You wanna fight for your land back?
WASHINGTON
I need my right hand man back!
LAFAYETTE
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!
WASHINGTON
Ale ander Hamilton
Troops are waiting in the field for you
If you join us right now,
together we can turn the tide
Oh, Ale ander 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, Ale ander…
