Lyrics to Song - Hamilton Edition (Act 1)

"Hear ye, hear ye, my name is Samuel Seabury."

"How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman.."

"They say the price of my war's not a price that they are willing to pay."

"I am not throwin' away my shot."

"You say, the price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay."

"How does the bastard, orphan, son of a whore go on and on. Grow into more of a phenomenon?"

"Lee, do you yield?"

"1776. New York City."

"I may not live to see our glory, but I will gladly join the fight."

"Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now."

"Boy, you got me helpless! Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm Helpless!"

"All right, all right, that's what I'm talking about! Now, everyone give it up for the maid of honor, Angelica Schuyler!"

"After the war I went back to New York. I finished up my studies and I practiced law - I practiced law, Burr worked next door."

"Theodosia writes me a letter ev'ry day. I'm keeping her bed warm while her husband is away."

"Monsieur Hamilton." "Monsieur Lafayette."

"There's nothing rich folk love more, than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor."

"How does a ragtag volunteer army, in need of a shower somehow defeat a global superpower?"

"I have never seen the General so despondent. I have taken over writing all his correspondence."

"Dear Theodosia, what to say to you? You have my eyes, you have your mother's name."

"British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water. Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor"

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine."

"I was younger than you are now, when I was given my first command. I led my men straight into a massacre I witnessed their deaths firsthand."
