Ah,
|
Mr
|
Secretary!
|
Mr.
|
Burr,
|
sir
|
Did
|
you
|
hear
|
the
|
news
|
about
|
good
|
old
|
General
|
Mercer?
|
No
|
You
|
know
|
Claremont
|
street?
|
Yeah
|
They
|
renamed
|
it
|
after
|
him
|
The
|
Mercer
|
legacy
|
is
|
secure
|
Sure
|
And
|
all
|
he
|
had
|
to
|
do
|
is
|
die
|
Yeah,
|
that's
|
a
|
lot
|
less
|
work!
|
We
|
ought
|
to
|
give
|
it
|
a
|
try
|
Now,
|
how
|
you
|
gonna
|
get
|
your
|
debt
|
plan
|
through?
|
I
|
guess
|
I'm
|
gonna
|
have
|
to
|
finally
|
listen
|
to
|
you
|
Really?
|
Talk
|
less,
|
smile
|
more
|
Do
|
whatever
|
it
|
takes
|
to
|
get
|
|
Lyric
|
my
|
plan
|
on
|
the
|
congress
|
floor
|
Now
|
Madison
|
and
|
Jefferson
|
are
|
merciless
|
Well,
|
hate
|
the
|
sin,
|
love
|
the
|
sinner
|
Hamilton!
|
I'm
|
sorry
|
Burr
|
I
|
gotta
|
go
|
Oh,
|
but-
|
Decisions
|
are
|
happening
|
over
|
dinner
|
Two
|
Virginians
|
and
|
an
|
immigrant
|
walk
|
into
|
a
|
room
|
Diametrically
|
opposed
|
Foes
|
They
|
emerge
|
with
|
a
|
compromise
|
Having
|
open
|
doors
|
that
|
were
|
previously
|
closed
|
Bros
|
The
|
immigrant
|
emerges
|
with
|
unprecedented
|
financial
|
power
|
A
|
system
|
he
|
can
|
shape
|
however
|
he
|
wants
|
The
|
Virginians
|
emerge
|
with
|
the
|
nation's
|
capital
|
And
|
here's
|
the
|
pièce
|
|
Lyric
|
de
|
résistance
|
No
|
one
|
else
|
was
|
in
|
the
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
No
|
one
|
else
|
was
|
in
|
the
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
No
|
one
|
really
|
knows
|
how
|
the
|
game
|
is
|
played
|
The
|
art
|
of
|
the
|
trade
|
How
|
the
|
sausage
|
gets
|
made
|
We
|
just
|
assume
|
that
|
it
|
happens
|
But
|
no
|
one
|
else
|
is
|
in
|
the
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happens
|
Thomas
|
claims:
|
Alexander
|
was
|
on
|
|
Lyric
|
Washington's
|
doorstep
|
One
|
day,
|
in
|
distress
|
and
|
disarray
|
Alexander
|
said,
|
"I've
|
nowhere
|
else
|
to
|
turn"
|
And
|
basically
|
begged
|
me
|
to
|
join
|
the
|
fray
|
I
|
approached
|
Madison
|
and
|
said
|
"I
|
know
|
you
|
hate
|
him
|
but
|
let's
|
hear
|
what
|
he
|
has
|
to
|
say"
|
Well,
|
I
|
arranged
|
the
|
meeting
|
I
|
arranged
|
the
|
menu,
|
the
|
venue,
|
the
|
seating
|
But
|
No
|
one
|
else
|
was
|
in
|
the
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
No
|
one
|
else
|
was
|
in
|
the
|
room
|
where
|
|
Lyric
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
No
|
one
|
really
|
knows
|
how
|
the
|
parties
|
get
|
to
|
"Yes"
|
The
|
pieces
|
that
|
are
|
sacrificed
|
in
|
the
|
every
|
game
|
of
|
chess
|
We
|
just
|
assume
|
that
|
it
|
happens
|
But
|
no
|
one
|
else
|
is
|
in
|
the
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happens
|
Meanwhile,
|
Madison
|
is
|
grappling
|
with
|
the
|
fact
|
That
|
not
|
every
|
issue
|
can
|
be
|
settled
|
by
|
committee
|
Congress
|
is
|
fighting
|
over
|
where
|
to
|
put
|
the
|
capital
|
It
|
isn't
|
pretty
|
Jefferson
|
approaches
|
with
|
the
|
dinner
|
|
Lyric
|
invite
|
Madison
|
responds
|
with
|
Virginian
|
insight
|
Maybe
|
we
|
could
|
solve
|
one
|
problem
|
with
|
another
|
And
|
win
|
a
|
victory
|
for
|
the
|
Southerners
|
In
|
other
|
words,
|
Oh,
|
ho
|
A
|
quid
|
pro
|
quo
|
I
|
suppose
|
Wouldn't
|
you
|
like
|
to
|
work
|
a
|
little
|
closer
|
to
|
home?
|
Actually,
|
I
|
would
|
Well,
|
I
|
propose
|
the
|
Potomac
|
And
|
you'll
|
provide
|
him
|
his
|
votes?
|
Well,
|
we'll
|
see
|
how
|
it
|
goes
|
Let's
|
go
|
No!
|
...One
|
else
|
was
|
in
|
the
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
|
happened
|
The
|
room
|
where
|
it
