Aaron Burr Lyrics
[COMPANY]
1776. New York City
[HAMILTON]
Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?
[BURR]
That depends. Whoās asking?
[HAMILTON]
Oh, well, sure, sir
Iām Alexander Hamilton, Iām at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
[BURR]
Iām getting nervous
[HAMILTON]
Sirā¦
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. Itās 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, Iām not stupid
So howād you do it? Howād you graduate so fast?
[BURR]
It was my parentsā dying wish before they passed
[HAMILTON]
Youāre an orphan. Of course! Iām an orphan
God, I wish there was a war!
Then we could prove that weāre worth more
Than anyone bargained forā¦
[BURR]
Can I buy you a drink?
[HAMILTON]
That would be nice
[BURR]
While weāre talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
[HAMILTON]
What?
[BURR]
Smile more
[HAMILTON]
Ha
[BURR]
Donāt let them know what youāre against or what youāre for
[HAMILTON]
You canāt be serious
[BURR]
You wanna get ahead?
[HAMILTON]
Yes
[BURR]
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
[LAURENS]
Yo yo yo yo yo!
What time is it?
[LAURENS/LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN]
Show time!
[BURR]
ā¦like I saidā¦
[LAURENS]
Show time! Show time! Yo!
Iām John Laurens in the place to be!
Two pints oā Sam Adams, but Iām workinā on three, uh!
Those redcoats donāt want it with me!
Cuz I will pop chick-a pop these cops till Iām free!
[LAFAYETTE]
Oui oui, mon ami, je māappelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say āBonsoir!ā
Tell the King āCasse toi!ā Whoās the best?
Cāest moi!
[MULLIGAN]
Brrrah brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovinā it, yes I heard ya mother said āCome again?ā
[LAFAYETTE & LAURENS]
Ayyyyy
[MULLIGAN]
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
Itās hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsetsā¦
[LAFAYETTE]
Wow
[LAURENS]
No more sex, pour me another brew, son!
Letās raise a couple moreā¦
[LAURENS/LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN]
To the revolution!
[LAURENS]
Well, if it aināt the prodigy of Princeton college!
[MULLIGAN]
Aaron Burr!
[LAURENS]
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge!
[BURR]
Good luck with that: youāre takinā a stand
You spit. Iām āa sit. Weāll see where we land
[LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN]
Boooo!
[LAURENS]
Burr, the revolutionās imminent. What do you stall for?
[HAMILTON]
If you stand for nothing, Burr, whatāll you fall for?
[LAURENS]
Ooh
Who are you? [MULLIGAN]
Ooh
Who are you? [LAFAYETTE]
Ooh
Who are you?
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS]
Ooh, who is this kid? Whatās he gonna do?
