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 whos unafraid to step in!
Hes constantly confusin, confoundin the British henchmen
Evryone give it up for Americas favorite fighting Frenchman!

[LAFAYETTE AND ENSEMBLE]
Guns

And so the balance shifts
[WASHINGTON]
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
[LAFAYETTE]
We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
For this to succeed, there is someone else we need:
[WASHINGTON]

[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]

Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean

Or matches my practical tactical brilliance

You wanna fight for your land back? (Hamilton!)

[WASHINGTON]
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
Theyll surrender by early light
The world will never be the same, Alexander
