Based on the Work of

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 confusing, confounding the British henchmen
Everyone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman
(La Fayette) I'm taking this horse by the reins
Making redcoats redder with bloodstains
(La Fayette) and I'm never gonna' stop until I make 'em drop
Or burn 'em up or scatter their remains, I'm
(La Fayette) watch me engaging 'em, escaping 'em, and raging 'em ah
(La Fayette) I go to France for more funds (La Fayette)
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, affluent, and French, I mean (Hamilton)
Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
What's he gonna' do on a bench? I mean (Hamilton)
No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical tactical brilliance (Hamilton)
You want to fight for your land back? (Hamilton)
I need my right-hand man back (Hamilton)
Yeah, get your right-hand man back (Hamilton)
Yeah, you gotta get your right-hand man back (Hamilton)
I mean, you gotta push a button, pull the lever, 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
