hamilton (an american musical) - a winter 039 s ball

[Burr]
How does the bastard, orphan, son of a whore
Go on and on
Grow into more of a phenomenon?
Watch this obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth bother
Be seated at the right hand of the father
Washington hires Hamilton right on sight
But Hamilton still wants to fight, not write
Now Hamilton's skill with a quill is undeniable
But what do we have in common? we're
Reliable with the

[All Men]
Ladies!

[Burr]
There are so many to deflower!

[All Men]
Ladies!

[Burr]
Looks! Proximity to power

They delighted and distracted him
Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him!

[Hamilton]
that's true

[Full Company]

A winter's ball
And the Schuyler sisters are the envy of all
Yo, if you can marry a sister, you're rich, son

Is it a question of if, Burr, or which one?

[Company]
1776. New York City

[Hamilton]
Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?

[Burr]
That depends. who's asking?

[Hamilton]
Oh, well, sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you

[Burr]
I'm getting nervous

[Hamilton]
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?

[Burr]
You punched the bursar

[Hamilton]
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?

[Burr]
It was my parents? dying wish before they passed

[Hamilton]
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?

[Burr]
Can I buy you a drink?

[Hamilton]
That would be nice

[Burr]
While we're talking
let me offer you some free advice
Talk less

[Hamilton]
What?

[Burr]
Smile more

[Hamilton]
Ha

[Burr]
don't let them know what you're against
or what you're for

[Hamilton]
You can't be serious

[Burr]
You wanna get ahead?

[Hamilton]
Yes

[Burr]
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

[Laurens]
Yo yo yo yo yo!
What time is it?

[Laurens Lafayette Mulligan]
Show time!

[Burr]
like I said

[Laurens]
Show time! Show time! Yo!
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!
'cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free!

[Lafayette]
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!

[Mulligan]
Brrah brraah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said
"Come again"?

[Lafayette & Laurens]
Ayy

[Mulligan]
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course

[Lafayette]
Wow

[Laurens]
No more sex, pour me another brew, son!

[Laurens Lafayette Mulligan]
To the revolution!

[Laurens]
Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college!

[Mulligan]

[Laurens]

[Burr]
Good luck with that: you're takin? a stand
You spit. I'm 'a sit

[Lafayette Mulligan]
Boo!

[Laurens]
Burr, the revolution's imminent. What do you stall for?

[Hamilton]
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?

[Laurens]
Ooh

Ooh
Who are you?

[Lafayette]
Ooh
Who are you?

[Mulligan Lafayette Laurens]
Ooh, who is this kid? what's he gonna do?

hamilton (an american musical) - alexander hamilton

[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?

[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

[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

[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 is gonna know your name
what's your name, man?

[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]
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

[Company]
And Alex got better but his mother went quick

[Washington]
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something
new inside
A voice saying

[Washington]
"You gotta fend for yourself"
[Company]
"Alex, you gotta fend for yourself. ?
[Washington]
He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the
shelf

[Burr]
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
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man

[Company]
In New York you can
Be a new man?
In New York you can
Be a new man?

[Hamilton]
Just you wait!

Just you wait!

[Company]
In New York you can be a new man?

[Women]
In New York?

[Men]
New York?

[Hamilton]
Just you wait!

[Company]
Alexander Hamilton

We are waiting in the wings for you

You could never back down
You never learned to take your time!

Oh, 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]
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him

Another immigrant
Comin? up from the bottom

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 & 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!

hamilton (an american musical) - blow us all away

Meet the latest graduate
Of king's college!
I prob'ly shouldn't brag
But, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got
The same virtuosity and brains as my pops!
The ladies say my brain's
Not where the resemblance stops!
I'm only nineteen but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man
Like my father, but bolder
I shoulder his legacy with pride
I used to hear him say
That someday
I would

Blow us all away

Ladies, I'm lookin for
A mr. george eacker
Made a speech last week
Our fourth of july speaker
He disparaged my father's legacy
In front of a crowd
I can't have that
I'm making my father proud

I saw him just up broadway a couple of blocks
He was goin' to see a play

Well, I'll go visit his box

God, you're a fox

And y'all look pretty good in ya' frocks
How 'bout when I get back
We all strip down to our socks?

Ok!

Blow us all away!

George!

Shh

George!

Shh! I'm tryin' to watch the show!

Ya' shoulda watched your mouth before you
Talked about my father though!

I didn't say anything that wasn't true
Your father's a scoundrel
And so, it seems, are you

OOh!

It's like that?

Yeah, I don't fool around
I'm not your little schoolboy friends

See you on the dueling ground
That is, unless you wanna step outside
And go now

I know where to find you, piss off
I'm watchin' this show now

Pops, if you had only heard the shit
He said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide
And I was not about to

Slow down

I came to ask you for advice
This is my very first duel
They don't exactly cover this subject
In boarding school

Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?

He refused to apologize
We had to let the peace talks cease

Where is this happening?

Across the river, in jersey

Everything is legal in new jersey

Alright. so this is what you're gonna do
Stand there like a man
Until eacker is in front of you
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
This will put an end to the whole affair

But what if he decides to shoot?
Then I'm a goner

No. he'll follow suit
If he's truly a man of honor
To take someone's life
That is something you can't shake
Philip, your mother
Can't take another heartbreak

Father

Promise me. you don't want this
Young man's blood on your conscience

Okay, I promise

Come back home when you're done
Take my guns
Be smart. make me proud, son

My name is philip
I am a poet
I'm a little nervous
But I can't show it
I'm sorry, I'm a hamilton with pride
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide
Mister eacker! how was the rest of your show?

I'd rather skip the pleasantries
Let's go
Grab your pistol

Confer with your men
The duel will commence after we count to ten

Count to ten!

Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly
Aim your gun towards the sky

One two three four

Five six seven

hamilton (an american musical) - burn

I saved every letter
You wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine

Do you know what angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said
Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to survive

You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to

Burn
Burn

You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world how you brought
This girl into our bed
In clearing your name
You have ruined our lives
Do you know what angelica said
When she read what you'd done?
She said
You have married an icarus
He has flown too close to the sun

You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you

You, you, you

I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians
Wonder how eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
Burn
Watching it burn
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
I hope that you burn

hamilton (an american musical) - farmer refuted

[Seabury]
Hear ye, hear ye! My name is Samuel Seabury
And I present "Free Thoughts on the
Proceedings of the Continental Congress! "
Heed not the rabble who scream revolution
They have not your interests at heart

[Mulligan]
Oh my God. Tear this dude apart

[Seabury]
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
don't let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me

[Burr]
Let him be

[Seabury]
they're playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame?

[Hamilton]
Yo!
He? d have you all unravel at the
Sound of screams but the
Revolution is comin?
The have-nots are gonna
Win this
it's hard to listen to you with a straight face

Chaos and bloodshed already haunt us
honestly you shouldn't even talk
And what about Boston?
Look at the cost, n' all that we've lost
n' you talk About Congress?

My dog speaks more eloquently than thee!

But strangely, your mange is the same

Is he in Jersey?

For the revolution!

[Seabury]
Heed not the rabble
Who scream
Revolution, they
Have not your
Interests
At heart

Chaos and bloodshed are
Not a
Solution. don't
Let them lead you
Astray
This Congress does not
Speak for me

they're playing a dangerous game

I pray the king shows you his mercy

For shame

For shame

[Company]
For the revolution!

[Seabury]
Heed?

[Hamilton]
If you repeat yourself again I'm gonna?

[Seabury Hamilton]
Scream?

[Hamilton]
Honestly, look at me, please don't read!

[Seabury]
Not your interests?

[Hamilton]
don't modulate the key then not debate with me!
Why should a tiny island across the sea
regulate the price of tea?

[Burr]
Alexander, please!

[Hamilton]
Burr, I'd rather be divisive than indecisive
drop the niceties

[Ensemble]
Silence! A message from the King!
A message from the King!

[Full Company]
A message from the King!

hamilton (an american musical) - hurricane

[Hamilton]
In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky

When I was seventeen a hurricane
Destroyed my town
I didn't drown
I couldn't seem to die

I wrote my way out
Wrote everything down far as I could see
I wrote my way out
I looked up and the town had its eyes on me

They passed a plate around
Total strangers
Moved to kindness by my story
Raised enough for me to book passage on a
Ship that was New York bound

I wrote my way out of hell
I wrote my way to revolution
I was louder than the crack in the bell
I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell
I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well
And in the face of ignorance and resistance
I wrote financial systems into existence
And when my prayers to God
were met with indifference
I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance

In the eye of a hurricane
There is quiet
For just a moment
A yellow sky

I was twelve when my mother died
She was holding me
We were sick and she was holding me
I couldn't seem to die

[Burr]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

[Burr And Ensemble]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it

[Hamilton]
I'll write my way out
Write ev'rything down, far as I can see
I'll write my way out
Overwhelm them with honesty

[Washington Eliza Angelica Maria]
History has its eyes on you

[Hamilton]
This is the eye of the hurricane, this is the only
Way I can protect my legacy

[Company (Except Hamilton) ]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait

[Hamilton]
The Reynolds Pamphlet

hamilton (an american musical) - i know him

[King George]
They say
George Washington's yielding his power
and stepping away
'Zat true?
I wasn't aware that was something a person could do
I'm perplexed
Are they gonna keep on replacing whoever's in charge?
If so, who's next?
There's nobody else in their country
who looms quite as large
John Adams?
I know him
That can't be
That's that little guy who spoke to me
All those years ago
What was it, eighty-five?
That poor man, they're gonna eat him alive!
Oceans rise
Empires fall
Next to Washington, they all look small
All alone
Watch them run
They will tear each other into pieces
Jesus Christ, this will be fun!

Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da da dat dat da ya daa!

"President John Adams"
Good Luck

hamilton (an american musical) - it 039 s quiet uptown

There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering
Too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down

The hamiltons move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable

I spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before

If you see him in the street, walking by
Himself, talking to himself, have pity

Philip, you would like it uptown
It's quiet uptown

He is working through the unimaginable

His hair has gone grey. he passes every day
They say he walks the length of the city

You knock me out, I fall apart

Can you imagine?

Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you, eliza
But hear me out. that would be enough

If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The challenges we're facing
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
And you need time
But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enough

If you see him in the street, walking by her
Side, talking by her side, have pity

Eliza, do you like it uptown?
It's quiet uptown

He is trying to do the unimaginable
See them walking in the park
Long after dark
Taking in the sights of the city

Look around, look around, eliza

They are trying to do the unimaginable

There are moments that the words don't reach
There is a grace too powerful to name
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginable
They are standing in the garden
Alexander by eliza's side
She takes his hand

It's quiet uptown

Forgiveness. can you imagine?
Forgiveness. can you imagine?
If you see him in the street, walking by her
Side, talking by her side, have pity
They are going through the unimaginable

hamilton (an american musical) - meet me inside

[Hamilton]
Lee, do you yield?

[Burr]
You shot him in the side!
Yes, he yields!

[Laurens]
I'm satisfied

[Burr]
Yo, we gotta clear the field!

[Hamilton]
Go! We won

[Company]

[Washington]
Son

[Hamilton]
Don't call me son

[Washington]
This war is hard enough
Without infighting

[Hamilton]
Lee called you out. We called his bluff

[Washington]
You solve nothing
you aggravate our allies to the south

[Hamilton]
You're absolutely right
John should have shot him in the mouth
That would've shut him up

[Washington]
Son

[Hamilton]
I'm notcha son

[Washington]
Watch your tone
I am not a maiden in need of defending
I am grown

[Hamilton (Overlapping) ]
Charles Lee, Thomas Conway
These men take your name and they rake it
Through the mud

[Washington]
My name's been through a lot, I can take it

[Hamilton]
Well, I don't have your name. I don't have your titles
I don't have your land
But, if you

[Washington]
No

[Hamilton]
If you gave me command of a battalion
a group of men to lead
I could fly above my station
after the war

[Washington]
Or you could die and we need you alive

[Hamilton]
I'm more than willing to die

[Washington]
Your wife needs you alive, son
I need you alive

[Hamilton]
Call me son one more time

[Washington]
Go home, Alexander
That's an order from your commander

[Hamilton]
Sir

[Washington]
Go home

[Washington]
Check it?
Can I be real a second?
For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people
how I feel a second?
Now I'm the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men
are all Lining up
to put me up on a pedestal
Writin' letters to relatives
Embellishin? my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
The truth is in ya face
when ya hear the British cannons go?

[Ensemble]
Boom!

[Washington]
Any hope of success is fleeting
How can I keep leading
when the people I'm Leading keep retreating?
We put a stop to the bleeding
as the British take Brooklyn
Knight takes rook, but look

[Washington]
We are outgunned

Outmanned

Outnumbered
Outplanned

We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man

[Company]
Boom!

[Washington]
We just lost the southern tip and?

[Company]
Boom!

[Washington]
We gotta run to Harlem quick
we can't afford another slip
Guns and horses giddyup
I decide to divvy up
My forces, they're skittish
as the British cut the city up
This close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny
I scream in the face of this mass mutiny
Are these the men with which I am to defend America?
We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance
I cannot be everywhere at once, people
I'm in dire need of assistance?

[Burr]
Your excellency, sir!

[Washington]
Who are you?

[Burr]
Aaron Burr, Sir?
Permission to state my case?

[Washington]
As you were

[Burr]
Sir
I was a captain under General Montgomery
Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec
And well, in summary
I think that I could be of some assistance
I admire how you keep firing on the British
From a distance

[Washington]
Huh

[Burr]
I have some questions
a couple of suggestions on how to fight
instead of fleeing west

[Washington]
Yes?

[Burr]
Well?

[Hamilton]
Your excellency, you wanted to see me?

[Washington]
Hamilton, come in, have you met Burr?

[Hamilton]
Yes, sir

[Hamilton And Burr]
We keep meeting

[Burr]
As I was saying, sir, I look forward
to seeing your strategy play out

[Washington]
Burr?

[Burr]
Sir?

[Washington]
Close the door on your way out

[Hamilton]
Have I done something wrong, sir?

[Washington]
On the contrary
I called you here
because our odds are beyond scary
Your reputation precedes you, but I have to laugh

[Hamilton]
Sir?

[Washington]
Hamilton
how come no one can get you on their staff?

[Hamilton]
Sir!

[Washington]
don't get me wrong, you're a young man of great renown
I know you stole British cannons
when we were still downtown
Nathaniel Green and Henry Knox wanted to hire you?

[Hamilton]
To be their Secretary? I don't think so

[Washington]
Why're you upset?

[Hamilton]
I'm not?

[Washington]
it's alright, you want to fight, you've got a hunger
I was just like you when I was younger
Head full of fantasies
of dyin' like a martyr?

[Hamilton]
Yes

[Washington]
Dying is easy, young man. Living is harder

[Hamilton]
Why are you telling me this?

[Washington]
I'm being honest
I'm working with a third
of what our Congress has promised
We are a powder keg about to explode
I need someone like you to lighten the load. So?

[Company (Except Hamilton) ]
I am not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
Ayo, I'm just like my country, I'm young
Scrappy and hungry!

[Hamilton]
I am not throwing away my shot!

[Washington]
Son

[Washingon And Company]
We are outgunned, outmanned!

[Hamilton]
You need all the help you can get
I have some friends. Laurens, Mulligan
Marquis de Lafayette, okay, what else?

[Washington And Company]
Outnumbered, outplanned!

[Hamilton]
we'll need some spies on the inside
Some King's men
who might let some things slide

[Hamilton]
I'll write to Congress
and tell 'em we need supplies
you rally the guys, master the element of surprise

I'll rise above my station
organize your information
'til we rise
to the occasion of our new nation. Sir!

[Ensemble]
Here comes the General!

[Hamilton]
Rise up!

Rise up!

[Ensemble]
Here comes the General!

[Hamilton]
Rise up!

[Ensemble]
Here comes the General!

[Schuyler Sisters]
Rise up!

[Schuyler Sisters And Women]
Rise up!

[Eliza Angelica Peggy]
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Laurens Lafayette Mulligan]
What?

What?

What?

[Full Company]
Here comes the General!

[Hamilton]
What?

[Washington]
And his right hand man!

[Full Company]
Boom!

hamilton (an american musical) - say no to this

[Burr]
There's nothing like summer in the city
Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty
There's trouble in the air, you can smell it
And Alexander's by himself. I'll let him tell it

[Hamilton]
I hadn't slept in a week
I was weak, I was awake
You never seen a bastard orphan
More in need of a break
Longing for Angelica
Missing my wife
That's when Miss Maria Reynolds
walked into my life, she said

[Maria]
I know you are a man of honor
I'm so sorry to bother you at home
But I don't know where to go, and I came here all alone

[Hamilton]
She said

[Maria]
My husband's doin' me wrong
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me
Suddenly he's up and gone
I don't have the means to go on

[Hamilton]
So I offered her a loan
I offered to walk her home, she said

[Maria]
You're too kind, sir

[Hamilton]
I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away
She lived a block away, she said

[Maria]
This one's mine, sir

[Hamilton]
Then I said, "well, I should head back home, "
She turned red, she led me to her bed
Let her legs spread and said

[Maria]
Stay?

[Hamilton]
Hey

[Maria]
Hey

[Hamilton]
That's when I began to pray
Lord, show me how to
Say no to this
I don't know how to
Say no to this

But my God, she looks so helpless
And her body's saying, "hell, yes"

[Maria]
Whoa

[Hamilton]
Noo, show me how to

[Hamilton Ensemble]
Say no to this

[Hamilton]
I don't know how to

[Hamilton Ensemble]
Say no to this

[Hamilton]
In my mind, I'm tryin' to go

[Ensemble]
Go! Go! Go!

[Hamilton]
Then her mouth is on mine, and I don't say

[Ensemble]
No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!

[Hamilton]
I wish I could say that was the last time
I said that last time
It became a pastime
A month into this endeavor I received a letter
From a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said

[James]
Dear Sir, I hope this letter
finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position
to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck
You see, that was my wife who you decided to

[Hamilton]
Fuu

[James]
Uh-oh! You made the wrong sucker a cuckold
So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled
And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife
If the price is right: if not
I'm telling your wife

[Hamilton]
I hid the letter and I raced to her place
Screamed "How could you? " in her face
She said

[Maria]
No, sir!

[Hamilton]
Half dressed, apologetic. A mess, she looked
Pathetic, she cried

[Maria]
Please don't go, sir!

[Hamilton]
So was your whole story a setup?

[Maria]
I don't know about any letter!

[Hamilton]
Stop crying Goddamnit, get up!

[Maria]
I didn't know any better

[Hamilton]
I am ruined

[Maria]
Please don't leave me with him helpless
Just give him what he wants and you can have me

Whatever you want

[Hamilton]
I am helpless-how could I do this?

I don't want you
I don't want you

[Maria]
If you pay
You can stay
Tonight
Helpless
Whoa!
How can you
Say no to this?

[Hamilton]
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes

[Hamilton]
I don't
Lord, show me how to
Say no to this
I don't know how to
Say no to this
Cuz the situation's helpless

And her body's screaming, "Hell, yes"

No, show me how to
Say no to this
How can I
Say no to this?
There is nowhere I can go

When her body's on mine I do not say

[Maria]
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!

[Ensemble]
Say no to this!

Say no to this!

Say no to this!

Say no to this!

Go! Go! Go!

No!

[Ensemble]
Say no to this!
No!

Say no to this!
No!

Say no to this!
No!

Say no to this!

[Hamilton]
Say no to this
I don't say no to this
There is nowhere I can go

[Maria]
Don't say no to this

[Ensemble]
Go go go

[James]
So?

[Hamilton]
Nobody needs to know

Where's my son?

Mr. hamilton, come in

He lost a lot of blood on the way over

Yes. but you have to understand
The bullet entered just above his hip and
Lodged in his right arm

Already infected when he arrived
