• What'd I Miss

[COMPANY]
Seventeen, se-se-seventeen
Se-se-seventeen

[BURR]
Seventeen eighty-nine
How does the bastard, orphan
Immigrant, decorated war vet
Unite the colonies through more debt?
Fight the other founding father
Till 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 them off until we had a two-party system
You haven’t met him yet, you haven’t had the chance
‘Cause he’s been kicking ass as the ambassador to France
But someone’s gotta keep the American promise
You simply must meet Thomas, Thomas

[COMPANY]
Thomas Jefferson’s coming home (Thomas Jefferson’s coming home)
Thomas Jefferson’s coming home (Thomas Jefferson’s coming home)
Thomas Jefferson’s coming home
Lord he’s been off in Paris for so long
Ahhh-oooo, ahhh-oooo

[JEFFERSON]
France is following us to revolution
There is no more status quo
But the sun comes up
And the world still spins

[COMPANY]
Ahhhh-oooo

[JEFFERSON]
I helped Lafayette draft the declaration
Then I said I gotta go
I gotta be in Monticello
Now the work at home begins

[COMPANY]
Ahhhh-oooo

[JEFFERSON]
So what did I miss, what did I miss
Mmm, Virginia my home sweet home I wanna give you a kiss (mwah)
I’ve been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies
I guess I basically missed the late eighties
I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this

[COMPANY]
Ahhhh-oooo

[JEFFERSON]
There’s a letter on my desk from the President
Haven’t even put my bag down yet
Sally be a lamb, darling, won’t you open it
It says the President’s assembling a cabinet
And that I am to be the Secretary of State, great
And that I’m already Senate approved
I just got home and now I’m headed up to New York

[COMPANY]
Headed to New York, headed to New York

[JEFFERSON]
Looking at the rolling fields I can’t

[JEFFERSON & COMPANY]
Believe that we are free

[JEFFERSON]
Ready to face whatever’s awaiting

[JEFFERSON & COMPANY]
Me in NYC

[JEFFERSON]
But who’s waiting for me when I step in the place
My friend James Madison, red in the face
He grabs my arm and I respond what’s going on

[COMPANY]
Ahhhh-oooo

[MADISON]
Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation’s very soul
Can you get us out of the mess we’re in?

[COMPANY]
Ahhhh-oooo

[MADISON]
Hamilton’s new financial plan is nothing less than government control
I’ve been fighting for the south alone
Where have you been?

[JEFFERSON]
Ah, France?

[COMPANY]
Ahhhh-oooo

[MADISON]
We have to win

[JEFFERSON]
Well what did I miss?

[COMPANY]
What, what, what did I miss?

[JEFFERSON]
What did I miss?

[COMPANY]
I come home for this

[JEFFERSON]
Head first into a political abyss

[COMPANY]
Head first into the abyss

[JEFFERSON]
I have my first cabinet meeting today
I guess I better think of something to say
I’ve already

[JEFFERSON & COMPANY]
Gone my way

[JEFFERSON]
To get to the bottom of this

[COMPANY]
What did I miss?
Ahhh

[WASHINGTON]
Mister Jefferson welcome home

[HAMILTON]
Mister Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton

[WASHINGTON & COMPANY]
Mister Jefferson welcome home

[COMPANY]
Mister Jefferson welcome home sir
You’ve been off in Paris for so long

[JEFFERSON]
So what did I miss?
