We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance I cannot be everywhere at once, people I’m in dire need of assistance…
Your excellency, sir! Who are you? Aaron Burr, Sir? Permission to state my case? As you were Sir
I was a captain under General Montgomery Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec And well, in summary
I think that I could be of some assistance I admire how you keep firing on the British From a distance Huh
I have some questions, a couple of suggestions on how to fight instead of fleeing west
Yes? Well— Your excellency, you wanted to see me? Hamilton, come in, have you met Burr? Yes, sir We keep meeting
As I was saying, sir, I look forward to seeing your strategy play out Burr? Sir? Close the door on your way out
Have I done something wrong, sir? On the contrary I called you here because our odds are beyond scary
Your reputation precedes you, but I have to laugh Sir? Hamilton, how come no one can get you on their staff? Sir!
Don’t get me wrong, you’re a young man of great renown I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown
Nathaniel Green and Henry Knox wanted to hire you… To be their Secretary? I don’t think so Why’re you upset? I’m not—
It’s alright, you want to fight, you’ve got a hunger I was just like you when I was younger Head full of fantasies of dyin’ like a martyr?
Yes Dying is easy, young man. Living is harder Why are you telling me this?
I’m being honest I’m working with a third of what our Congress has promised
We are a powder keg about to explode I need someone like you to lighten the load. So?
I am not throwin’ away my shot! I am not throwin’ away my shot! Ayo, I’m just like my country, I’m young Scrappy and hungry!
I am not throwing away my shot! Son We are outgunned, outmanned!
You need all the help you can get I have some friends. Laurens, Mulligan Marquis de Lafayette, okay, what else? Outnumbered, outplanned!
We’ll need some spies on the inside Some King’s men who might let some things slide
I’ll write to Congress and tell ‘em we need supplies, you rally the guys, master the element of surprise (Boom!) (Whoa, whoa, whoa...)
I’ll rise above my station, organize your information, ‘til we rise to the occasion of our new nation. Sir! Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Here comes the General! (Chicka-boom!) Whoa, whoa, whoa… Rise up! What? Rise up! Here comes the General!
Here comes the General! (What?) Rise up! Rise up! What? Rise up!
Here comes the General! What? And his right hand man! Boom!
How does the bastard, orphan, son of a whore Go on and on Grow into more of a phenomenon?
Watch this obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth bother Be seated at the right hand of the father Washington hires Hamilton right on sight
But Hamilton still wants to fight, not write Now Hamilton’s skill with a quill is undeniable
But what do we have in common? We’re Reliable with the Ladies! There are so many to deflower! Ladies! Looks! Proximity to power Ladies!
They delighted and distracted him Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him! That’s true
1780 A winter’s ball And the Schuyler sisters are the envy of all
Yo, if you can marry a sister, you’re rich, son Is it a question of if, Burr, or which one? Hey Hey Hey hey
Hey hey hey hey Ohh, I do I do I do I (Hey hey hey hey) Dooo! Hey! (Hey hey hey hey) Ohh, I do I do I do I (Hey hey hey hey)
Dooo! Boy you got me (Hey hey hey) Helpless!
Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m helpless! Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin’ at my sister as she’s dazzling the room Then you walked in and my heart went “Boom!”
Tryin’ to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom Everybody’s dancin’ and the band’s top volume Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grab my sister, and Whisper, “Yo, this One’s mine.” Oooh
My sister made her way across the room to you And I got nervous, thinking “What’s she gonna do?” (Oooh)
She grabbed you by the arm, I’m thinkin’ “I’m through” Then you look back at me and suddenly I’m (Oooh) Helpless! Oooh
Oh, look at those eyes Helpless! Oh! Yeah, I’m Helpless, I know (Look into your eyes) And the sky’s the limit
I’m Helpless! Down for the count I’m so into you (And I’m drownin’ in ‘em) I am so into you I’m helpless!
I know I’m down for the count (Look into your eyes) And I’m drownin’ in ‘em. (And the sky’s the limit I’m helpless!)
Down for the count And I’m drownin’ in ‘em.
Where are you taking me? I’m about to change your life Then by all means, lead the way
Elizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you Schuyler? My sister
Thank you for all your service If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it I’ll leave you to it
One week later I’m writin’ a letter nightly Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
Laughin’ at my sister, cuz she wants to form a harem I’m just sayin’, if you really loved me, you would share him Ha!
Two weeks later In the living room stressin’ (Stressin’) My father’s stone-faced While you’re asking for his blessin’
I’m dying inside, as (Blessin’) You wine And dine And I’m tryin’ not to cry ‘cause there’s nothing that your mind can’t do
My father makes his way across the room To you (Oooh) I panic for a second, thinking “we’re through”
But then he shakes your hand and says (Oooh) “Be true” And you turn back to me, smiling, and I’m (Oooh) Helpless! Oooh
Helpless! Hoo! (Helpless!) Look into your eyes And the sky’s the Limit I’m That boy is mine (Helpless!)
That boy is mine! (Down for the count) And I’m drownin’ in ‘em I’m Helpless! Helpless! (Helpless!)
Down for the count And I’m drownin’ in em (Look into your eyes) And the sky’s the Limit I’m Helpless!
Down for the count And I’m drownin’ in em
Eliza, I don’t have a dollar to my name An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame
All I have’s my honor, a tolerance for pain A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me
No stress, my love for you is never in doubt We’ll get a little place in Harlem and we’ll figure it out
I’ve been livin’ without a family since I was a child My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild
But I’ll never forget my mother’s face, that was real And long as I’m alive, Eliza, swear to God You’ll never feel so… Helpless!
I do I do I do I do! Eliza… Helpless! I do I do I do I do! I’ve never felt so— Helpless!
Hey, yeah, yeah! Down for the count I’m down for the count (And I’m drownin’ in ‘em) I’m— Helpless!
My life is gon’ be fine cuz Eliza’s in it. I look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit (Helpless!)
I’m Helpless! …drownin’ in ‘em. Down for the count And I’m drownin’ in ‘em.
In New York, you can be a new man… In New York, you can be a new man… In New York, you can be a new man… Helpless
Alright, alright. That’s what I’m talkin’ aboutNow everyone give it up for the maid of honor Angelica Schuyler!
A toast to the groom! To the groom! To the groom!
To the bride! (To the groom!) (To the groom!) To the bride! To the bride!
From your sister (To the bride!) (To the bride!) Angelica! Angelica! (Angelica!)
Who is always by your side (Angelica!) By your side! (By your side!)
To your union To the union! And the hope that you provide (To the union!) (To the revolution!) To the revolution!
May you always… You provide! (You provide!) You provide! Be satisfied Always— (Always—) Rewind— (Rewind—)
I remember that night, I just might Regret that night for the rest of my days
I remember those soldier boys Tripping over themselves to win our praise
I remember that dreamlike candlelight Like a dream that you can’t quite place
But Alexander, I’ll never forget the first Time I saw your face I have never been the same Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said “Hi,” I forgot my dang name Set my heart aflame, ev’ry part aflame This is not a game…
You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. You forget yourself
You’re like me. I’m never satisfied Is that right? I have never been satisfied My name is Angelica Schuyler Alexander Hamilton
Where’s your fam’ly from? Unimportant. There’s a million things I haven’t done but Just you wait, just you wait…
So so so— So this is what it feels like to match wits With someone at your level! What the hell is the catch? It’s
The feeling of freedom, of seein’ the light It’s Ben Franklin with a key and a kite! You see it, right?
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes Ev’rything we said in total agreement, it’s…
A dream and it’s a bit of a dance A bit of a posture, it’s a bit of a stance. He’s a…
Bit of a flirt, but I’m ‘a give it a chance I asked about his fam’ly, did you see his answer?
His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance? He’s penniless, he’s flying by the seat of his pants Handsome, boy, does he know it!
Peach fuzz, and he can’t even grow it! I wanna take him far away from this place Then I turn and see my sister’s face and she is… Helpless…
And I know she is… Helpless… And her eyes are just… Helpless… And I realize Three fundamental truths at the exact same time…
Where are you taking me? I’m about to change your life Then by all means, lead the way
Number one! I’m a girl in a world in which My only job is to marry rich My father has no sons so I’m the one Who has to social climb for one
So I’m the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in New York City is insidious
And Alexander is penniless Ha! That doesn’t mean I want him any less Elizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you Schuyler? My sister
Number two! He’s after me cuz I’m a Schuyler sister That elevates his status, I’d Have to be naïve to set that aside
Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza Now that’s his bride Nice going, Angelica, he was right You will never be satisfied
Thank you for all your service If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it I’ll leave you to it
Number three! I know my sister like I know my own mind You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell her that I love him she’d be silently resigned He’d be mine She would say, “I’m fine” She’d be lying
