There's nothin' rich folks love more

Than goin' downtown and slummin' it with the poor

They pull up in their carriages and gawk

At the students in the college just to watch 'em 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)

Angelica, Peggy, Eliza (work)

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 (in 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 looking for me)

Eliza, I'm looking for a mind at work (work, work)

I'm looking for a mind at work (work, work)

I'm looking for a mind at work (work, work)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (work)

Woo!

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 disgust me

I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me

I've been readin' Common Sense by Thomas Paine

Some 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

I'ma 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

It's the greatest city in the world

Look around, look around (I've been readin' Common Sense by Thomas Paine)

The revolution's happening in New York (some men say that I'm intense, or I'm insane)

Look around, look around (you want a revolution? I want a revelation)

The revolution's happening (so listen to my declaration)

(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 (work, work), hey, work (work-work, work, work)

(In the greatest city), in the greatest city in the world

In the greatest city in the world
