Lyrics L'air de la Louisiane - Christine Albert

Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?

That depends, who's asking?

Oh well sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton
I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you

I'm getting nervous

Sir, I heard your name at Princeton
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort out of sorts with a buddy of yours
I may have punched him
It's a blur, sir
He handles the financials—

You punched the bursar?

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?

It was my parents' dying wish before they passed

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

Can I buy you a drink?

That would be nice

While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less

What?

Smile more

Ha

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

You can't be serious

You want to get ahead?

Yes

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

Yo yo yo yo yo! What time is it?

LAURENS, MULLIGAN:
Showtime!

...like I said...

Showtime! Showtime! Yo!
I'm John Laurens in the place to be!
Uh, two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm working on three, uh!
Those redcoats don't want it with me
Cause I will pop chick-a-pop these cops 'til I'm free!

Ah 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!

Brrrah, brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it
Yes I heard your mother say "come again?"

LAURENS, LAFAYETTE:
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Lock up your daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets

Wow

No more sex
Pour me another brew, son!
Let's raise a couple more

LAURENS, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN:
To the revolution!

Well if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College

Aaron Burr

Give us a verse, drop some knowledge

Good luck with that
You're takin' a stand
You spit, I'mma sit
We'll see where we land

LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN:
Booooo/Ohhhhhh

Burr, the revolution's imminent
What do you stall for?

If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?

LAURENS, MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE:
Oooh

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

LAURENS, MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE:
Who, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
