## Lyrics

### Original Lyrics

Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
 Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon
An immigrant, you know and love who's unafraid to step in
He's constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen
 **[Company]** Lafayette!
**[Lafayette]**  I'm takin' this horse by the reins
Makin' redcoats redder with bloodstains
**[Company]** Lafayette!
**[Lafayette]** And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em drop
And burn 'em up and scatter their remains, I'm
**[Company]** Lafayette!
**[Lafayette]** Watch me engagin' em, escapin' em
Enragin' em, I'm—
**[Company]** Lafayette!
**[Lafayette]** I go to France for more funds
**[Company]** Lafayette!
 **[Lafayette, Ensamble]** Guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts
**[Washington]** We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
**[Lafayette]** We can end this war in Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
For this to succeed, there's someone else we need
 **[Washington, Company]** Hamilton!
**[Lafayette]** Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean—
**[Washington, Company]** Hamilton!
**[Lafayette]** No one has more resilience or
Matches my practical tactical brilliance—
**[Washington, Company]** Hamilton!
**[Lafayette]** You wanna fight for your land back?
**[Company]** Hamilton!
 **[Lafayette]** Yeah, uhn, get your right hand man back
**[Men]** (Your right hand man back)
**[Company]** (Hamilton)
**[Lafayette]** You know you gotta get your right hand man back
**[Men]** (Hamilton! Ha—Ha—)
**[Women]** (Hamilton)
**[Lafayette]** I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter
**[Men]** (Hamilton! Hamilton! Ha—Ha—)
**[Women]** (Hamilton! Ha—Ha—)
**[Lafayette]** But the sooner the better
 **[Washington]** Alexander Hamilton
Troops are waiting in the fields 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...

Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
 Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon
An immigrant, you know and love who's unafraid to step in
He's constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen
 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!
 Guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
We can end this war in Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
For this to succeed, there's someone else we need
 Hamilton!
Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean—

The world, will never be the same, Alexander...
Kill me...
