How

does
|
the
|
bastard
|
orphan,
|
immigrant
|
decorated

war
|
vet
|
Unite
|
the

colonies
|
through

more

debt?
|
Fight
|
the

other
|
founding
|
fathers
|
'til

he
|
has
|
to
|
forfeit?
|
Have
|
it
|
all,
|
lose

it
|
all
|
You
|
ready
|
for
|
more
|
yet?
|
Treasury
|
Secretary,
|
Washington's
|
the
|
President
|
Every
|
American
|
experiment
|
sets
|
a
|
precedent
|
Not
|
so
|
fast,
|
someone
|
came
|
along
|
to
|
resist
|
him
|
Pissed
|
him
|
off
|
until
|
we
|
had
|
a
|
two-party
|
system
|
You
|
haven't
|
met
|
him
|
yet,
|
you
|
haven't
|
had
|
the
|
chance
|
'Cause
|
|
Lyric
|
he's
|
been
|
kickin'
|
ass
|
the
|
ambassador
|
to
|
France
|
But
|
someone's
|
gotta
|
keep
|
the
|
American
|
promise
|
You
|
simply
|
must
|
meet
|

Lord
|
he's
|
been
|
off
|
in
|
Paris
|
for
|
so
|
long
|
(Aaa-ooo)
|
(Aaa-ooo)
|
France
|
is
|
following
|
us
|
to
|
revolution
|
There
|
is
|
no
|
more
|
status
|
quo
|
But
|
the
|
sun
|
comes
|
up
|
and
|
the
|
world
|
still
|
spins
|
(Aaa-ooo)
|
I
|
helped
|
Lafayette
|
draft
|
a
|
|
Lyric
|
declaration
|
Then
|
I
|
said,
|
|I
|
gotta
|
go
|
I
|
gotta
|
be
|
in
|
Monticello"
|
Now
|
the
|
work
|
at
|
home
|
begins
|
(Aaa-ooo)
|
So
|
what'd
|
I
|
miss?
|
What'd
|
I

miss?
|
Virginia,
|
my
|
home
|
sweet
|
home,
|
I
|
wanna
|
give
|
you
|
a
|
kiss
|
I've
|
been
|
in
|
Paris
|
meeting
|
lots
|
of
|
different
|
ladies
|
I
|
guess
|
I
|
basically
|
missed
|
the
|
late
|
eighties
|
I
|
travelled
|
the
|
wide,
|
wide
|
world
|
and
|
came
|
back
|
to
|
this
|
(Aaa-ooo)
|
There's
|
a
|
letter
|
on
|
my
|
desk
|
from
|
the
|
President
|
Haven't
|
even
|
put
|
my
|
bags
|
down
|
|
Lyric
|
yet
|
Sally
|
be
|
a
|
lamb,
|
darlin'
|
won't
|
cha
|
open
|
it?
|
It
|
says
|
the
|
President's
|
assembling
|
a
|
cabinet
|
And
|
that
|
I
|
am
|
to
|
be
|
the
|
Secretary
|
to
|
State,
|
great
|
And
|
that
|
I'm
|
already
|
Senate
|
approved
|
I
|
just
|
got
|
home
|
and
|
now
|
I'm
|
headed
|
up
|
to
|
New
|
York
|
Headin'
|
to
|
New
|
York,
|
headin'
|
to
|
New
|
York
|
Lookin'
|
at
|
the
|
rolling
|
fields
|
I
|
can't
|
believe
|
that
|
we
|
are
|
free
|
Ready
|
to
|
face.
|
whatever's
|
awaiting
|
Me
|
in
|
NYC
|
But
|
who's
|
waitin'
|
for
|
me
|
when
|
I
|
|
Lyric
|
step
|
in
|
the
|
place?
|
My
|
friend
|
James
|
Madison,
|
red
|
in
|
the
|
face
|
He
|
grabs
|
my
|
arm
|
And
|
I
|
respond,
|
what's
|
goin'
|
on?
|
(Aa-oo)
|
Thomas,
|
we
|
are
|
engaged
|
in
|
a
|
battle
|
for
|
our
|
nation's
|
very
|
soul
|
Can
|
you
|
get
|
us
|
of
|
the
|
mess
|
we're
|
in?
|
Hamilton's
|
new
|
financial
|
plan
|
is
|
nothing
|
less
|
than
|
government
|
control
|
I've
|
been
|
fighting
|
for
|
the
|
South
|
alone
|
Where
|
have
|
you
|
been?
|
France
|
(aa-oo)
|
We
|
have
|
to
|
win
|
What'd
|
I
|
miss?
|
(What'd
|
what'd
|
what'd
|
I
|
miss)
|
What'd
|
I
|
|
Lyric
|
miss?
|
(I've
|
come
|
home
|
to
|
this)
|
Head
|
first
|
into
|
a
|
political
|
abyss
|
(head
|
first,
|
into
|
the
|
abyss)
|
I
|
have
|
my
|
first
|
cabinet
|
meeting
|
today
|
(chik-a-pow)
|
I
|
guess
|
I
|
better
|
think
|
of
|
something
|
to
|
say
|
I'm
|
already
|
on
|
my
|
way
|
get
|
to
|
the
|
bottom
|
of
|
this
|
(What
|
did
|
I
|
miss?)
|
(aa-oo)
|
Mr.
|
Jefferson,
|
welcome
|
home
|
Mr.
|
Jefferson
|
(Alexander
|
Hamilton)
|
Mr.

Jefferson,
|
welcome
|
