HAMILTON How you say, no sweat We're finally on the
field. We’ve had quite a run
LAFAYETTE Immigrants:
HAMILTON/LAFAYETTE We get the job done
HAMILTON So what happens if we win?
LAFAYETTE I go back to France I bring freedom to my people if I’m given the chance
HAMILTON We’ll be with you when you do
LAFAYETTE Go lead your men
HAMILTON See you on the other side
LAFAYETTE ‘Til we meet again, let’s go!
ENSEMBLE I am not throwin’ away my
shot! I am not throwin’ away my shot! Hey
yo, I’m just like my country, I’m young Scrappy and hungry And I’m not
throwin’ away my shot! I am not throwin’ away my shot!
HAMILTON ‘Til the world turns upside down…
ENSEMBLE ‘Til the world turns upside down!
HAMILTON I imagine death so much it feels more like a
memory This is where it gets me: on my feet The enemy ahead of me If
this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me Weapon in my hand, a
command, and my men with me Then I remember my Eliza’s expecting me... Not only that, my Eliza’s expecting We gotta go, gotta get the job done Gotta start
a new nation, gotta meet my son! Take the bullets out your gun!
ENSEMBLE What?
HAMILTON The bullets out your gun!
ENSEMBLE What?
HAMILTON We move under cover and we move as one
Through the night, we have one shot to live another day We cannot let a stray
gunshot give us away We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it
It’s either that or meet the business end of a bayonet The code word is
‘Rochambeau,’ dig me?
ENSEMBLE Rochambeau!
HAMILTON You have your orders now, go, man, go! And
so the American experiment begins With my friends all scattered to the winds Laurens is in South
Carolina, redefining brav’ry
HAMILTON/LAURENS We’ll never be free until we end slavery!
HAMILTON When we finally drive the British away Lafayette is there waiting—
HAMILTON/LAFAYETTE In Chesapeake
Bay!
HAMILTON How did we know that this plan would work?
We had a spy on the inside. That’s right
HAMILTON/COMPANY Hercules Mulligan!
MULLIGAN A tailor spyin’ on the British government! I
take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it
COMPANY Up
MULLIGAN To my brother's revolutionary covenant I’m
runnin’ with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin’ it! See, that’s what happens when
you up against the ruffians We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it! Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction When you
knock me down I get the fuck back up again!
COMPANY Left! Right! Hold! Go! What! What! What!
HAMILTON After a week of fighting, a young man in a red
coat stands on a parapet
LAFAYETTE We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief
MULLIGAN And just like that, it’s over. We tend to our
wounded, we count our dead
LAURENS Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this
really means freedom
WASHINGTON Not. Yet
HAMILTON We negotiate the terms of surrender I see
George Washington smile We escort their men out
of Yorktown They stagger home single file
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets There are screams and church bells
ringing And as our fallen foes retreat I hear the drinking song they’re singing…
ALL MEN The world turned upside down
FULL COMPANY The world turned upside down The world
turned upside down The world turned upside down Down Down, down, down
LAFAYETTE Freedom for America, freedom for France!
COMPANY Down, down, down
HAMILTON Gotta start a new nation Gotta meet my son
COMPANY Down, down, down
MULLIGAN We won!
LAFAYETTE We won!
MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS We won!
HAMILTON/WASHINGTON/MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS We won!
