The Adams Administration

Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton

Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording), 2015, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

How does Hamilton, the short-tempered
Protean creator of the Coast Guard
Founder of the New York Post
Ardently abuse his cab'net post
Destroy his reputation?
Welcome, folks to
The Adams administration!
Jefferson's the runner-up
Which makes him the Vice President
Washington can't help you now
No more mister nice President
Adams fires Hamilton
Privately calls him "creole bastard" in his taunts
Say what.
Hamilton publishes his response:
Sit down, John, you FAT MOTHERF-
Hamilton is out of control
This is great! He's out of power. He holds no office.
And he just destroyed President John Adams
The only other significant member of his party.
Hamilton's a host unto himself.
As long as he can hold a pen, he's a threat.
Let's let him know what we know.
