Hamilton - Aaron Burr, Sir Songtexte

1776. 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

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
What time is it?

Show time!

Like I said

Show time! Show time! What!

I’m John Laurens in the place to be!
Two pints o’ Sam Adams, but I’m workin’ on three, uh!
Those redcoats don’t want it with me!
Cuz I will pop chick-a pop these cops till 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!

Brrrah, brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin’ it, yes I heard ya mother said: come again?

Ay

Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
It’s hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsetz

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’m ‘a sit. We’ll see where we land

Boooo!

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

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

Ohh

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Ooh, who is this kid, what's he gonna do?
