Aaron Burr, Sir

Lyrics

[COMPANY] 1776 New York City [HAMILTON] Pardon me Are you Aaron Burr, sir? [BURR] That depends, who's asking? [HAMILTON] Oh, sure, sir I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir I have been looking for you [BURR] I'm getting nervous [HAMILTON] Sir, I heard your name at Princeton I was seeking an accelerated course of study When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours I may have punched him It's a blur, sir He handles the financials? [BURR] You punched the bursar [HAMILTON] Yes I wanted to do what you did Graduate in two, then join the revolution He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast? [BURR] It was my parents' dying wish before they passed [HAMILTON] You're an orphan Of course! I'm an orphan God, I wish there was a war Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for [BURR] Can I buy you a drink? [HAMILTON] That would be nice [BURR] While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice Talk less [HAMILTON] What? [BURR] Smile more [HAMILTON] Ha [BURR] Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for [HAMILTON] You can't be serious [BURR] You wanna get ahead? [HAMILTON] Yes [BURR] Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead [LAURENS] A-ya-yow, ya-yow-yow What time is it? [LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN] Show time [BURR] Like I said [LAURENS] Show time, show time, yo! I'm John Laurens in the place to be A-two pints of Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh Those redcoats don't want it with me 'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops 'til I'm free [LAFAYETTE] Ay, oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette The Lancelot of the revolutionary set I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir" Tell the King "Casse-toi", who's the best? C'est moi [MULLIGAN] Brah, brah I am Hercules Mulligan Up in it, lovin' it Yes, I heard ya mother said, "Come again?" [LAURENS & LAFAYETTE] Ayy [MULLIGAN] Lock up ya daughters and horses Of course it's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets [LAFAYETTE] Wow [LAURENS] No more sex, pour me another brew, son Let's raise a couple more [LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN] To the revolution! [LAURENS] Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college [MULLIGAN] Aaron Burr [LAURENS] Give us a verse, drop some knowledge [BURR] Good luck with that: You're takin' a stand You spit, I'ma sit, we'll see where we land [LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN] Boo [LAURENS] Burr, the revolution's imminent What do you stall for? [HAMILTON] If you stand for nothin', Burr, what'll you fall for? [LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN] Ooh [LAURENS] Who are you? [MULLIGAN] Who are you? [LAFAYETTE] Who are you? [LAURENS, LAFAYETTE & MULLIGAN] Ooh, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
