Yo. Ev’ry action has an equal, opposite reaction
John Adams shat the bed. I love the guy, but he’s in traction
Poor Alexander Hamilton? He is missing in action
So now I’m facing
Aaron Burr!
With his own faction
He’s very attractive in the North
New Yorkers like his chances
He’s not very forthcoming on any particular stances
Ask him a question: it glances off
He obfuscates, he dances
And they say I’m a Francophile
At least they know I know where France is!
Thomas that’s the problem, see
They see Burr as a less extreme you
Ha!
You need to change course
A key endorsement might redeem you
Who did you have in mind?
Don’t laugh
Who is it?
You used to work on the same staff
Whaaaat
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side
Talk less!
Smile more!
Don’t let ‘em know what you’re against or what you’re for!
Shake hands with him!
Charm her!
It’s eighteen hundred, ladies, tell your husbands: vote for
Burr!
I don’t like Adams
Well, he’s gonna lose, that’s just defeatist
And Jefferson
In love with France!
Yeah, he’s so elitist!
I like that Aaron Burr!
I can’t believe we’re here with him!
He seems approachable?
Like you could grab a beer with him!
Dear Mr. Hamilton: your fellow Fed’ralists
Would like to know how you’ll be voting
It’s quiet uptown
Dear Mr. Hamilton: John Adams doesn’t stand a chance
So who are you promoting?
It’s quiet uptown
Jefferson or Burr?
We know it’s lose-lose
Jefferson or Burr?
But if you had to choose
Jefferson or Burr?
We know it’s lose-lose
Jefferson or Burr?
But if you had to choose
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
John Adams doesn’t stand a chance so who are you promoting?
But if you had to choose
Well, if it isn’t Aaron Burr. Sir!
Alexander!
You’ve created quite a stir, sir!
I’m going door to door!
You’re openly campaigning?
Sure!
That’s new
Honestly, it’s kind of draining
Burr
Sir!
Is there anything you wouldn’t do?
No. I’m chasing what I want
And you know what?
What?
I learned that from you
If you had to choose
If you had to choose
It’s a tie!
If you had to choose
If you had to choose
It’s up to the delegates!
If you had to choose
If you had to choose
It’s up to Hamilton!
If you had to choose
If you had to choose
If you had to
Choose
Choose
Choose!
Jefferson or Burr?
Choose
Choose
Choose!
Jefferson or Burr?
Choose
Choose
Choose!
Yo
Oh!
The people are asking to hear my voice
Oh!
For the country is facing a difficult choice
Oh!
And if you were to ask me who I’d promote
Oh!
Jefferson has my vote
Oh!
I have never agreed with Jefferson once
Oh!
We have fought on like seventy-five diff’rent fronts
Oh!
But when all is said and all is done
Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none
Oooooooooooooh
Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damned
Hamilton’s on your side
Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damned
And?
You won in a landslide
Congrats on a race well-run
I did give you a fight
Uh-huh
I look forward to our partnership
Our partnership?
As your vice-President
Ha. Yeah, right
You hear this guy? Man openly campaigns against me
Talkin’ bout, I look forward to our partnership
It’s crazy that the guy who comes
In second gets to be Vice President
Yeah, you know what?
We can change that. You know why?
Why?
‘Cuz I’m the President. Hey, Burr, when you see Hamilton
Thank him for the endorsement
