BURR
How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How does King George underestimate his haters?
King George III
Once we beat the traitors, we'll be greeted as liberators!
COMPANY
Yay!
BURR
Now, turns out we have a secret weapon!
An immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in!
He’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the British henchmen
Ev’ryone give it up for America’s favorite fighting Frenchman!
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
I’m takin this horse by the reins makin’
Redcoats redder with bloodstains
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
And I’m never gonna stop 'til I make ‘em
Drop, burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I’m—
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
Watch me escapin’ em! Engagin’ em!
Enragin’ em! I’m—
COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE

COMPANY
Lafayette!
LAFAYETTE
I come back with more
LAFAYETTE AND ENSEMBLE
Guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts
WASHINGTON
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
LAFAYETTE
We can end the war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
If we're to succeed, there's someone else we need:
WASHINGTON
Please
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean—
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
Sir, you’re gonna have to use him eventually
What’s he gonna do on the bench? I mean—
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical tactical brilliance—
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
You wanna fight for your land back?
WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Hamilton!
LAFAYETTE
Ya need your right hand man back!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ya need your right hand man back
Get your right hand man back
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
Alexander Hamilton
I have soldiers who 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…
