1776, New York City
[Hamilton]
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?
[Burr]
That depends, who's asking?
[Hamilton]
Oh, well, sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
[Burr]
I'm getting nervous
[Hamilton]
Sir, I heard your name at Princeton
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours
I may have punched him, it's a blur, sir
He handles the financials?
[Burr]
You punched the bursar?
[Hamilton]
Yes
I wanted to do what you did
Graduate in two, then join the revolution
He looked at me like I was stupid
I'm not stupid
So how'd you do it?
How'd you graduate so fast?
[Burr]
It was my parents' dying wish before they passed
[Hamilton]
You're an orphan, of course, I'm an orphan
God, I wish there was a war
Then we could prove that we're worth more
Than anyone bargained for
[Burr]
Can I buy you a drink?
[Hamilton]
That would be nice
[Burr]
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
[Hamilton]
What?
[Burr]
Smile more
[Hamilton]
Ha
[Burr]
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
[Hamilton]
You can't be serious
[Burr]
You wanna get ahead?
[Hamilton]
Yes
[Burr]
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
[Laurens]
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
What time is it?
[Lafayette and Mulligan]
Show time
[Burr]
Like I said
[Laurens]
Show time, Show time, What
I'm John Laurens in the place to be
Two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh
Those redcoats don't want it with me
'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free
[Lafayette]
Oui, oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set
I came from afar just to say Bonsoir
Tell the King Casse toi, Who's the best?
C'est moi
[Mulligan]
Brrah, brraah, I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said: Come again?
[Lafayette and Laurens]
Ay
[Mulligan]
Check up ya daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsetz
[Laurens]
Wow
No more sex, pour me another brew, son
Let's raise a couple more
[Lafayette, Laurens and Mulligan]
To the revolution
[Laurens]
Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college
[Mulligan]
Aaron Burr
[Laurens]
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge
[Burr]
Good luck with that: You're takin' a stand
You spit, I'm 'a sit, we'll see where we land
[Lafayette and Mulligan]
Boo
[Laurens]
Burr, the revolution's imminent, what do you stall for?
[Hamilton]
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?
[Lafayette, Laurens and Mulligan]
Oh
[Laurens]
Who are you?
[Mulligan]
Who are you?
[Lafayette]
Who are you?
[Lafayette, Laurens and Mulligan]
Ooh, who is this kid, what's he gonna do?
