Lyrics: The Room Where It Happens

[BURR]

Ah, Mister Secretary

[HAMILTON]

Mister Burr, sir

[BURR]

Didja hear the news about good old General Mercer?

[HAMILTON]

No

[BURR]

You know Clermont Street?

[HAMILTON]

Yeah

[BURR]

They renamed it after him. The Mercer legacy is secure

[HAMILTON]

Sure

[BURR]

And all he had to do was die

[HAMILTON]

That’s a lot less work

[BURR]

We oughta give it a try

[HAMILTON]

Ha

[BURR]

Now how’re you gonna get your debt plan through?

[HAMILTON]

I guess I’m gonna fin’ly have to listen to you

[BURR]

Really?

[HAMILTON]

“Talk less. Smile more.”

[BURR]

Ha

[HAMILTON]

Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor

[BURR]

Now, Madison and Jefferson are merciless.

[HAMILTON]

Well, hate the sin, love the sinner

[MADISON]

Hamilton!

[HAMILTON]

I’m sorry Burr, I’ve gotta go

[BURR]

But—

[HAMILTON]

Decisions are happening over dinner

[BURR]

Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]

Diametric’ly opposed, foes

[BURR]

They emerge with a compromise, having opened doors that were

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]

Previously closed

[ENSEMBLE]

Bros

BURR

The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power

A system he can shape however he wants

The Virginians emerge with the nation’s capital

And here’s the pièce de résistance:

[BURR & ENSEMBLE]

No one else was in

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one else was in

The room where it happened (The room where it happened)

The room where it happened

The room where it happened (The room where it happened)

No one really knows how the game is played (Game is played)

The art of the trade

How the sausage gets made (How the sausage gets made)

We just assume that it happens (Assume that it happens)

But no one else is in

The room where it happens. (The room where it happens.)

[BURR AND COMPANY]

Thomas claims—

[JEFFERSON]

Alexander was on Washington’s doorstep one day

In distress ‘n disarray

[BURR AND COMPANY]

Thomas claims—

[JEFFERSON]

Alexander said—

[HAMILTON]

I’ve nowhere else to turn!

[JEFFERSON]

And basic’ly begged me to join the fray

[BURR AND COMPANY]

Thomas claims—

[JEFFERSON]

I approached Madison and said—

“I know you hate ‘im, but let’s hear what he has to say.”

[BURR AND COMPANY]

Thomas claims—

[JEFFERSON]

Well, I arranged the meeting

I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating

[BURR]

But!

No one else was in—

[BURR AND COMPANY]

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

[BURR]

No one else was in—

[BURR AND COMPANY]

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

[BURR & COMPANY]

No one really knows how the

Parties get to yesssss (Parties get to yesssss)

The pieces that are sacrificed in (Ev’ry game of chesssss)

Ev’ry game of chesssss

We just assume that it happens (Assume that it happens)

But no one else is in (The room where it happens)

The room where it happens

[BURR AND COMPANY]

Meanwhile—

[BURR]

Madison is grappling with the fact that not ev’ry issue can be settled by committee

[COMPANY]

Meanwhile—

[BURR]

Congress is fighting over where to put the capital—

Company screams in chaos

[BURR]

It isn’t pretty

Then Jefferson approaches with a dinner and invite

And Madison responds with Virginian insight:

[MADISON]

Maybe we can solve one problem with another and win a victory for the Southerners, in other words—

[JEFFERSON]

Oh-ho!

[MADISON]

A quid pro quo

[JEFFERSON]

I suppose

[MADISON]

Wouldn’t you like to work a little closer to home?

[JEFFERSON]

Actually, I would

[MADISON]

Well, I propose the Potomac

[JEFFERSON]

And you’ll provide him his votes?

[MADISON]

Well, we’ll see how it goes

[JEFFERSON]

Let’s go

[BURR]

No!

[COMPANY]

—one else was in

The room where it happened

[BURR AND COMPANY]

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one else was in

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

[BURR]

My God!

[BURR AND COMPANY]

In God we trust

But we’ll never really know what got discussed

Click-boom then it happened

[BURR]

And no one else was in the room where it happened

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]

What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river?

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]

Did Washington know about the dinner?

Was there Presidential pressure to deliver?

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]

Or did you know, even then, it doesn’t matter

Where you put the U.S. Capital?

[HAMILTON]

Cuz we’ll have the banks

We’re in the same spot

[BURR]

You got more than you gave

[HAMILTON]

And I wanted what I got

When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game

But you don’t get a win unless you play in the game

Oh, you get love for it. You get hate for it

You get nothing if you…

[HAMILTON AND COMPANY]

Wait for it, wait for it, wait!

[HAMILTON]

God help and forgive me

I wanna build

Something that’s gonna

Outlive me

[HAMILTON/JEFFERSON/

MADISON/WASHINGTON & COMPANY]

What do you want, Burr? (What do you want, Burr?)

What do you want, Burr? (What do you want, Burr?)

If you stand for nothing (What do you want, Burr?)

Burr, then what do you fall for? (What do you want?)

[BURR]

I Wanna be in

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

I Wanna be in

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

[BURR & COMPANY]

I 

I wanna be in

The room where it happens

Wanna be (The room where it happens)

In the room where it happens (The room where it happens)

I (I wanna be in the room)

Where it happens

I wanna be in the room… (The room where it happens)

Oh (The room where it happens)

Oh (I wanna be in)

The room where it happens

I wanna be (The room where it happens)

I wanna be (The room where it happens)

I’ve got to be (I wanna be in)

I’ve got to be (The room where it happens)

In that room (The room where it happens)

In that big ol’ room (The room where it happens)

[COMPANY]

The art of the compromise—

[BURR]

Hold your nose and close your eyes

[COMPANY]

We want our leaders to save the day—

[BURR]

But we don’t get a say in what they trade away

[COMPANY]

We dream of a brand new start—

[BURR]

But we dream in the dark for the most part

[BURR AND COMPANY]

Dark as a tomb where it happens

[BURR & COMPANY]

I’ve got to be in

The room… (The room where it happens)

I’ve got to be...

The room where it happens

I’ve got to be...

The room where it happens

Oh, I’ve got to be in

The room where it happens… (The room where it happens)

I’ve got to be, I’ve gotta be (The room where it happens)

I’ve gotta be…

In the room! (I wanna be in the room)

Where it happens!

Click-boom! (Click-boom!)

Lyrics: Satisfied

[LAURENS]

Alright, alright. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Now everyone give it up for the maid of honor

Angelica Schuyler!

[ANGELICA, ALL MEN, ALL WOMEN]

A toast to the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the bride!

To the bride!

To the bride!

To the bride!

[ANGELICA, ALL MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]

From your sister

Angelica!

Angelica!

Angelica!

Who is always by your side

By your side!

By your side!

To your union

To the union! To the revolution!

And the hope that you provide

You provide!

You provide!

[ANGELICA, HAMILTON AND MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]

May you always... (Always)

Be satisfied (Rewind)

[Recorded Samples]

Rewind, Rewind

Helpless, sky's, sky's

Drownin' in em

Drownin', rewind

I remember that night, I just might (rewind)

I remember that night, I just might (rewind)

I remember that night, I remember that—

[ANGELICA]

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

[FULL COMPANY]

This is not a game…

[HAMILTON]

You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied

[ANGELICA]

I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. You forget yourself

[HAMILTON]

You’re like me. I’m never satisfied

[ANGELICA]

Is that right?

[HAMILTON]

I have never been satisfied

[ANGELICA]

My name is Angelica Schuyler

[HAMILTON]

Alexander Hamilton

[ANGELICA]

Where’s your fam’ly from?

[HAMILTON]

Unimportant. There’s a million things I haven’t done but

Just you wait, just you wait…

[ANGELICA]

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…

[ELIZA]

Helpless…

[ANGELICA]

And I know she is…

[ELIZA]

Helpless…

[ANGELICA]

And her eyes are just…

[ELIZA]

Helpless…

[ANGELICA]

And I realize

[ANGELICA AND COMPANY]

Three fundamental truths at the exact same time…

[HAMILTON]

Where are you taking me?

[ANGELICA]

I’m about to change your life

[HAMILTON]

Then by all means, lead the way

[COMPANY (EXCEPT ANGELICA)]

Number one!

[ANGELICA]

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

[ELIZA]

Elizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you

[HAMILTON]

Schuyler?

[ANGELICA]

My sister

[COMPANY]

Number two!

[ANGELICA]

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

[ELIZA]

Thank you for all your service

[HAMILTON]

If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it

[ANGELICA]

I’ll leave you to it

[COMPANY]

Number three!

[ANGELICA]

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”

[ANGELICA AND COMPANY]

She’d be lying

[ANGELICA]

But when I fantasize at night

It’s Alexander’s eyes

As I romanticize what might

Have been if I hadn’t sized him

Up so quickly

At least my dear Eliza’s his wife;

At least I keep his eyes in my life…

[ANGELICA]

He will never be satisfied

I will never be satisfied

[ANGELICA, ALL MEN (EXCEPT HAMILTON), ALL WOMEN (EXCEPT ELIZA)]

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the bride!

To the bride!

To the bride!

To the bride!

[ANGELICA, ALL MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]

From your sister

Angelica!

Angelica!

Angelica!

Who is always by your side

By your side!

By your side!

To your union

To the union! To the revolution!

And the hope that you provide

You provide!

You provide!

[ANGELICA, HAMILTON AND MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]

May you always... (Always)

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

[ANGELICA, MEN, WOMEN]

And I know

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

She'll be happy as his bride

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

And I know

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

He will never be satisfied

I will never be satisfied

Lyrics: Alexander Hamilton

[AARON BURR]

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a

Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten

Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor

Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

[JOHN LAURENS]

The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

By being a lot smarter

By being a self-starter

By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

[THOMAS JEFFERSON]

And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted

Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up

Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of

The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

[JAMES MADISON]

Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned

Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain

Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain

And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

[BURR]

Well, the word got around, they said, “This kid is insane, man”

Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland

“Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came, and

The world's gonna know your name. What’s your name, man?”

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON]

Alexander Hamilton

My name is Alexander Hamilton

And there's a million things I haven't done

But just you wait, just you wait...

[ELIZA HAMILTON]

When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden

Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden

Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick

[FULL COMPANY EXCEPT HAMILTON (whispering)]

And Alex got better but his mother went quick

[GEORGE WASHINGTON & COMPANY, BOTH]

Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide

Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside

A voice saying

“Alex, you gotta fend for yourself.”

He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

[BURR & COMPANY, BOTH]

There would have been nothin’ left to do

For someone less astute

He woulda been dead or destitute

Without a cent of restitution

Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord

Tradin’ sugar cane and rum and all the things he can’t afford

Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on

Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on (ooh)

The bow of a ship headed for a new land

In New York you can be a new man

[COMPANY & HAMILTON, WOMEN, MEN]

In New York you can be a new man (Just you wait)

In New York you can be a new man (Just you wait)

In New York you can be a new man

In New York, New York

Just you wait!

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)

We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)

You could never back down

You never learned to take your time!

Oh, Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)

When America sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?

Will they know you rewrote the game?

The world will never be the same, oh

[BURR, MEN, & COMPANY]

The ship is in the harbor now

See if you can spot him

Just you wait

Another immigrant

Comin’ up from the bottom

Just you wait

His enemies destroyed his rep

America forgot him

[MULLIGAN/MADISON & LAFAYETTE/JEFFERSON]

We fought with him

[LAURENS/PHILIP]

Me? I died for him

[WASHINGTON]

Me? I trusted him

[ELIZA & ANGELICA & PEGGY/MARIA]

Me? I loved him

[BURR]

And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him

[COMPANY]

There's a million things I haven’t done

But just you wait!

[BURR]

What's your name, man?

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!

Madison is grappling with the fact that not ev’ry issue can be settled by committee

[COMPANY]

Meanwhile—

[BURR]

Congress is fighting over where to put the capital—

Company screams in chaos

[BURR]

It isn’t pretty

Then Jefferson approaches with a dinner and invite

And Madison responds with Virginian insight:

[MADISON]

Maybe we can solve one problem with another and win a victory for the Southerners, in other words—

[JEFFERSON]

Oh-ho!

[MADISON]

A quid pro quo

[JEFFERSON]

I suppose

[MADISON]

Wouldn’t you like to work a little closer to home?

[JEFFERSON]

Actually, I would

[MADISON]

Well, I propose the Potomac

[JEFFERSON]

And you’ll provide him his votes?

[MADISON]

Well, we’ll see how it goes

[JEFFERSON]

Let’s go

[BURR]

No!

[COMPANY]

—one else was in

The room where it happened

[BURR AND COMPANY]

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one else was in

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

[BURR]

My God!

[BURR AND COMPANY]

In God we trust

But we’ll never really know what got discussed

Click-boom then it happened

[BURR]

And no one else was in the room where it happened

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]

What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river?

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]

Did Washington know about the dinner?

Was there Presidential pressure to deliver?

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]

Or did you know, even then, it doesn’t matter

Where you put the U.S. Capital?

[HAMILTON]

Cuz we’ll have the banks

We’re in the same spot

[BURR]

You got more than you gave

[HAMILTON]

And I wanted what I got

When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game

But you don’t get a win unless you play in the game

Oh, you get love for it. You get hate for it

You get nothing if you…

[HAMILTON AND COMPANY]

Wait for it, wait for it, wait!

[HAMILTON]

God help and forgive me

I wanna build

Something that’s gonna

Outlive me

[HAMILTON/JEFFERSON/

MADISON/WASHINGTON & COMPANY]

What do you want, Burr? (What do you want, Burr?)

What do you want, Burr? (What do you want, Burr?)

If you stand for nothing (What do you want, Burr?)

Burr, then what do you fall for? (What do you want?)

[BURR]

I Wanna be in

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

I Wanna be in

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

[BURR & COMPANY]

I 

I wanna be in

The room where it happens

Wanna be (The room where it happens)

In the room where it happens (The room where it happens)

I (I wanna be in the room)

Where it happens

I wanna be in the room… (The room where it happens)

Oh (The room where it happens)

Oh (I wanna be in)

The room where it happens

I wanna be (The room where it happens)

I wanna be (The room where it happens)

I’ve got to be (I wanna be in)

I’ve got to be (The room where it happens)

In that room (The room where it happens)

In that big ol’ room (The room where it happens)

[COMPANY]

The art of the compromise—

[BURR]

Hold your nose and close your eyes

[COMPANY]

We want our leaders to save the day—

[BURR]

But we don’t get a say in what they trade away

[COMPANY]

We dream of a brand new start—

[BURR]

But we dream in the dark for the most part

[BURR AND COMPANY]

Dark as a tomb where it happens

[BURR & COMPANY]

I’ve got to be in

The room… (The room where it happens)

I’ve got to be...

The room where it happens

I’ve got to be...

The room where it happens

Oh, I’ve got to be in

The room where it happens… (The room where it happens)

I’ve got to be, I’ve gotta be (The room where it happens)

I’ve gotta be…

In the room! (I wanna be in the room)

Where it happens!

Click-boom! (Click-boom!)

[LAURENS]

Alright, alright. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Now everyone give it up for the maid of honor

Angelica Schuyler!

[ANGELICA, ALL MEN, ALL WOMEN]

A toast to the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the bride!

To the bride!

To the bride!

To the bride!

[ANGELICA, ALL MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]

From your sister

Angelica!

Angelica!

Angelica!

Who is always by your side

By your side!

By your side!

To your union

To the union! To the revolution!

And the hope that you provide

You provide!

You provide!

[ANGELICA, HAMILTON AND MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]

May you always... (Always)

Be satisfied (Rewind)

[Recorded Samples]

Rewind, Rewind

Helpless, sky's, sky's

Drownin' in em

Drownin', rewind

I remember that night, I just might (rewind)

I remember that night, I just might (rewind)

I remember that night, I remember that—

[ANGELICA]

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

[FULL COMPANY]

This is not a game…

[HAMILTON]

You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied

[ANGELICA]

I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. You forget yourself

[HAMILTON]

You’re like me. I’m never satisfied

[ANGELICA]

Is that right?

[HAMILTON]

I have never been satisfied

[ANGELICA]

My name is Angelica Schuyler

[HAMILTON]

Alexander Hamilton

[ANGELICA]

Where’s your fam’ly from?

[HAMILTON]

Unimportant. There’s a million things I haven’t done but

Just you wait, just you wait…

[ANGELICA]

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…

[ELIZA]

Helpless…

[ANGELICA]

And I know she is…

[ELIZA]

Helpless…

[ANGELICA]

And her eyes are just…

[ELIZA]

Helpless…

[ANGELICA]

And I realize

[ANGELICA AND COMPANY]

Three fundamental truths at the exact same time…

[HAMILTON]

Where are you taking me?

[ANGELICA]

I’m about to change your life

[HAMILTON]

Then by all means, lead the way

[COMPANY (EXCEPT ANGELICA)]

Number one!

[ANGELICA]

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

[ELIZA]

Elizabeth Schuyler. It’s a pleasure to meet you

[HAMILTON]

Schuyler?

[ANGELICA]

My sister

[COMPANY]

Number two!

[ANGELICA]

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

[ELIZA]

Thank you for all your service

[HAMILTON]

If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it

[ANGELICA]

I’ll leave you to it

[COMPANY]

Number three!

[ANGELICA]

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”

[ANGELICA AND COMPANY]

She’d be lying

[ANGELICA]

But when I fantasize at night

It’s Alexander’s eyes

As I romanticize what might

Have been if I hadn’t sized him

Up so quickly

At least my dear Eliza’s his wife;

At least I keep his eyes in my life…

[ANGELICA]

He will never be satisfied

I will never be satisfied

[ANGELICA, ALL MEN (EXCEPT HAMILTON), ALL WOMEN (EXCEPT ELIZA)]

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the groom!

To the bride!

To the bride!

To the bride!

To the bride!

[ANGELICA, ALL MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]

From your sister

Angelica!

Angelica!

Angelica!

Who is always by your side

By your side!

By your side!

To your union

To the union! To the revolution!

And the hope that you provide

You provide!

You provide!

[ANGELICA, HAMILTON AND MEN, ELIZA AND WOMEN]

May you always... (Always)

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

[ANGELICA, MEN, WOMEN]

And I know

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

She'll be happy as his bride

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

And I know

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

Be satisfied

He will never be satisfied

I will never be satisfied

[AARON BURR]

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a

Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten

Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor

Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

[JOHN LAURENS]

The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

By being a lot smarter

By being a self-starter

By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

[THOMAS JEFFERSON]

And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted

Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up

Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of

The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

[JAMES MADISON]

Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned

Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain

Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain

And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

[BURR]

Well, the word got around, they said, “This kid is insane, man”

Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland

“Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came, and

The world's gonna know your name. What’s your name, man?”

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON]

Alexander Hamilton

My name is Alexander Hamilton

And there's a million things I haven't done

But just you wait, just you wait...

[ELIZA HAMILTON]

When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden

Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden

Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick

[FULL COMPANY EXCEPT HAMILTON (whispering)]

And Alex got better but his mother went quick

[GEORGE WASHINGTON & COMPANY, BOTH]

Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide

Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside

A voice saying

“Alex, you gotta fend for yourself.”

He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf

[BURR & COMPANY, BOTH]

There would have been nothin’ left to do

For someone less astute

He woulda been dead or destitute

Without a cent of restitution

Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord

Tradin’ sugar cane and rum and all the things he can’t afford

Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on

Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on (ooh)

The bow of a ship headed for a new land

In New York you can be a new man

[COMPANY & HAMILTON, WOMEN, MEN]

In New York you can be a new man (Just you wait)

In New York you can be a new man (Just you wait)

In New York you can be a new man

In New York, New York

Just you wait!

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)

We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)

You could never back down

You never learned to take your time!

Oh, Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)

When America sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?

Will they know you rewrote the game?

The world will never be the same, oh

[BURR, MEN, & COMPANY]

The ship is in the harbor now

See if you can spot him

Just you wait

Another immigrant

Comin’ up from the bottom

Just you wait

His enemies destroyed his rep

America forgot him

[MULLIGAN/MADISON & LAFAYETTE/JEFFERSON]

We fought with him

[LAURENS/PHILIP]

Me? I died for him

[WASHINGTON]

Me? I trusted him

[ELIZA & ANGELICA & PEGGY/MARIA]

Me? I loved him

[BURR]

And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him

[COMPANY]

There's a million things I haven’t done

But just you wait!

[BURR]

What's your name, man?

[COMPANY]

Alexander Hamilton!
