guns and ships

Lyrics

, 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, everyone give it up for america's favourite fighting frenchman!, lafayette!, i'm taking 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 out!, 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 in 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, you know you gotta get ya right hand man back,], i mean you gotta put some thought into the letter, but the sooner the better, to get your right hand man back!, 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.
