There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk
At the students in the common
Just to watch them talk
Take Philip Schuyler the man is loaded
Uh oh but little does he know that
His daughters Peggy Angelica Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at
Work work
Angelica
Work work
Eliza
And Peggy
Work work
The Schuyler sisters

Daddy said to be home by sundown
Daddy doesn't need to know
Daddy said not to go downtown
Like I said you're free to go
But look around look around the
Revolution's happening in New York
New York
Angelica
Work
It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war
People shouting in the square
It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
New ideas in the air
Look around look around
Angelica remind me what we're looking for
She's lookin' for me
Eliza I'm lookin' for a mind at work
Work work
I'm lookin' for a mind at work
Work work
I'm lookin' for a mind at work
Work work
Whooaaaaa
Whooaaaaa
Work
Wooh
There's nothin' like Summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty
Excuse me miss I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money
Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels
You searchin for an urchin who can give you ideals
Burr you disgust me
Ah so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund baby you can trust me
I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration
We hold these truths to be self- evident
That all men are created equal
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson
Unh
I'm 'a compel him to include women in the sequel
Work
Look around look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now
Look around look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now
History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world
In the greatest city in the world
'Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration
We hold these truths to be self evident
That all men are created equal
Look around look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world
In the greatest city
In the greatest city in the world
Work work Angelica
Work work Eliza
And Peggy
Work work
The Schuyler sisters
Work work
We're looking for a mind at work
Work work
Hey

Hey

Hey
Work work
In the greatest city in the
In the greatest city in the world
In the greatest city in the world
