Good! Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf
Sept huit neuf
Sept huit neuf
Sept huit neuf
Sept huit neuf
One two three four five six seven eight nine!
My dearest, Angelica
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
I trust you'll understand the reference to
Another Scottish tragedy
Without my having to name the play
They think me Macbeth
And ambition is my folly
I'm a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane
And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away
Take a break
I am on my way
There's a little surprise before supper
And it cannot wait
I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate
Alexander
Okay, okay
Your son is nine years old today
And he has something that he'd like to say
He's been practicing all day
Philip, take it away
Daddy, daddy, look
My name is Philip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just
To show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can't write mine
What!
I practice French
And play piano with my mother
Uh-huh!
I have a sister, but I want a little brother
Okay!
My daddy's trying to start America's bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq!
Bravo!
Take a break
Hey, our kid is pretty great
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
Eliza, I've got so much on my plate
We can all go stay with my father
There's a lake I know
I know
In a nearby park
I'd love to go
You and I can go when the night gets dark
I will try to get away
My dearest Alexander
You must get through to Jefferson
Sit down with him and compromise
Don't stop 'til you agree
Your fav'rite older sister
Angelica, reminds you
There's someone in your corner
All the way across the sea
In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning. Did you intend this?
One stroke and you've consumed my waking days
It says
My dearest Angelica
With a comma after dearest. You've written
My dearest, Angelica.
Anyway, all this to say
I'm coming home this summer
At my sister's invitation
I'll be there with your fam'ly
If you make your way upstate
I know you're very busy
I know your work's important
But I'm crossing the ocean
And I just can't wait
You won't be an ocean away
You will only be a moment away
Alexander, come downstairs. Angelica's arriving today!
Angelica!
Eliza!
The Schuyler sisters!
Alexander
Hi
It's good to see your face
Angelica, tell this man
John Adams spends the summer with his family
Angelica, tell my wife
John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway
You're not joining us? Wait
I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate
Alexander, I came all this way
She came all this way
All this way
Take a break
You know I have
To get my plan through Congress
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
I lose my job
If I don't get my plan through Congress
We can all go stay with our father
There's a lake I know
I know I'll miss your face
In a nearby park
Screw your courage to the sticking place
You and I can go
Eliza's right
Take a break
Take a break and get away
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate
Let's go upstate
Where we can stay
We can all go stay with our father
If you take your time
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
You will make your mark
Close your eyes and dream
We can go
When the night gets dark
Take a break
I have to get my plan through Congress
I can't stop
Until I get this plan through Congress
