How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower

Somehow defeat a global superpower?

How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross′ flag higher?

Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon

An immigrant, you know and love, who's unafraid to step in

He′s constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen

Ev′ryone give it up for America′s favorite fighting Frenchman

Lafayette!

I'm takin′ this horse by the reins makin'

Redcoats redder with bloodstains

Lafayette!

And I′m never gonna stop until I make 'em

Drop and burn ′em up and scatter their remains, I'm

Lafayette!

Watch me engagin' em! Escapin′ em!

Enragin′ em! I'm-

Lafayette!

I go to France for more funds

Lafayette!

I come back with more guns

And ships

And so the balance shifts

We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts

We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but

For this to succeed, there is someone else we need

I know

Hamilton!

Sir, he knows what to do in a trench

Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean-

Hamilton!

Sir, you′re gonna have to use him eventually

What's he gonna do on the bench ami?

Hamilton!

No one has more resilience

Or matches my practical tactical brilliance

Hamilton!

You wanna fight for your land back?

Hamilton!

I need my right-hand man back!

Ah! Uh, get ya right-hand man, back

You know you gotta get ya right-hand man back

I mean you gotta put some thought

Into the letter but the sooner the better

To get your right-hand man back

Alexander Hamilton

Troops are waiting in the field for you

If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide

Oh, Alexander Hamilton

I have soldiers that will yield for you

If we manage to get this right

They′ll surrender by early light

The world will never be the same, Alexander
