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! ( C: 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
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 (C: work, work!)
I’m lookin’ for a mind at
work! (C: work work!)

Whoo aaaaa!
Whoo aaaaa!
Work!
Wooh! There’s nothin’
like summer in the city
Someone in a rush ne t to
someone lookin’ pretty
E cuse 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!
