New York City

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 of 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 wanna get ahead?
Yes
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

Ah-yuh-yo, yo-yo-yo, yo!
What time is it?
Showtime!
Like I said

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

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!

Brrah, brrah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it, yes
I heard your mother said, "Come again?" (Ayy)
Lock up ya 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 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'ma sit, we'll see where we land (boo)

Burr, the revolution's imminent, what do you stall for?
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?

Ooh, who you? Who you? Who are you?
Ooh, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
