(+) Guns and Ships
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? I mean
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 (Hamilton)
Ah Uh get ya right hand man back
Get your right hand man back
Hamilton
You know you gotta get ya
Right hand man back
Your right hand man back
Hamilton
I mean you gotta put some thought
Into the letter
Ha ha Hamilton
But the sooner the better to get your right
Hand man back
Hamilton ha ha
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
