BURR: 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's 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 confusing, confounding the British henchmen,
Everyone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman!
               COMPANY:(Lafayette!)
LAFAYETTE: I'm taking this horse by the reigns, making redcoats redder with bloodstains.
               (Lafayette!)
Well I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em drop, I burn 'em up and scatter the remains. I'm-
               (Lafayette!)

               (Lafayette)

WASHINGTON: We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts.

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?

WASHINGTON: I need my right hand man back.

LAFAYETTE AND COMPANY: Yeah, get your right hand man back. You know you gotta get your right hand man back. You know you've gotta put some thought into the letter, but the sooner the better to get your right hand back!

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, they'll surrender by early light. The world will never be the same, Alexander!
