• Guns and Ships

[BURR]
How does a ragtag volunteer army, in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross’s flag higher?

Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon
An immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in
He’s constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen
Everyone give it up for America’s favorite fighting Frenchman

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
I’m taking this horse by the reins
Making redcoats redder with bloodstains

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
And I’m never gonna stop
Until I make ‘em drop
I’ll burn ‘em up and scatter the remains
I’m—

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
Watch me engaging ‘em, escaping ‘em, enraging ‘em, ow

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
I go to France for more funds

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
I come back with more guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts

[WASHINGTON]
We rendezvous with Rochambeau
Consolidate their gifts

[LAFAYETTE]
We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea
But for this to succeed, there is someone else we need

[WASHINGTON]
I know

[COMPANY]
Hamilton!

[LAFAYETTE]
Sir, he knows what to do in the trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French
I mean

[COMPANY]
Hamilton!

[LAFAYETTE]
Sir, you’re going to have to use him eventually
What’s he going to do on the bench, amis?

[COMPANY]
Hamilton!

[LAFAYETTE]
No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical, tactical brilliance

[COMPANY]
Hamilton!

[LAFAYETTE]
You want to fight for your land back?

[COMPANY]
Hamilton!

[WASHINGTON]
I need my right hand man back

[COMPANY]
Hamilton!

[LAFAYETTE]
Yeah, get your right hand man back

[COMPANY]
Hamilton!

[LAFAYETTE]
You know you gotta get your right hand man back

[COMPANY]
Hamilton!

[LAFAYETTE]
I mean, you gotta put some thought into the letter

[COMPANY]
Hamilton, Hamilton!

[LAFAYETTE]
But the sooner the better to get your right hand man back

[WASHINGTON]
Alexander Hamilton
Troops are waiting in the field for you
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
I have soldiers that will yield for you
If we manage to get this right
They’ll surrender by early light
The world will never be the same
Alexander
