18 Guns and Ships
[00:02.51] How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
[00:07.31] Somehow defeat a global superpower?
[00:10.06] How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
[00:13.58] Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross' flag higher?
[00:17.59] Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon!
[00:20.36] An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in!
[00:23.87] He's constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen
[00:27.42] Everyone give it up for America's favourite fighting Frenchman!
[00:30.91] Lafayette!
[00:31.66] I'm taking this horse by the reins makin' redcoats redder with bloodstains
[00:34.43] Lafayette!
[00:35.18] And I'm never gonna stop
[00:35.93] Until I make 'em drop
[00:36.68] And burn 'em up and scatter their remains,
[00:37.69] I'm
[00:37.94] Lafayette!
[00:38.69] Watch me engagin' 'em,
[00:39.71] Escapin' 'em!
[00:40.47] Enragin' 'em.
[00:41.22] I'm
[00:41.46] Lafayette!
[00:42.22] I go to France for more funds
[00:42.97] Lafayette!
[00:43.97] I come back with more
[00:44.73] Guns
[00:45.47] And ships
[00:46.50] And so the balance shifts
[00:48.25] We rendezvous
[00:49.01] With Rochambeau,
[00:50.02] Consolidate their gifts
[00:51.52] We can end this war in Yorktown, cut them off at sea,
[00:55.04] But for this to succeed,
[00:56.80] There is someone else we need:
[00:58.30] I know
[00:58.81] Hamilton!
[00:59.56] Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
[01:00.82] Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean
[01:02.32] Hamilton!
[01:03.07] Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
[01:04.58] What's he gonna do on the bench? I mean
[01:05.84] Hamilton!
[01:06.60] No one has more resilience
[01:07.36] Or matches my practical tactical brilliance
[01:09.12] Hamilton!
[01:09.87] You wanna fight for your land back?
[01:10.88] Hamilton!
[01:11.90] I need my right-hand man back!
[01:12.66] Hamilton!
[01:13.41] Ah! Uh, get ya right-hand man back (Get your right-hand man back!)
[01:14.66] You know you gotta get ya right hand man back (Your right-hand man back!)
[01:16.18] I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter (Hamilton!)
[01:17.94] But the sooner the better (Hamilton! Hamilton!)
[01:18.44] To get your right hand man back! (Ha ha)
[01:19.69] Alexander Hamilton
[01:22.71] Troops are waiting in the field for you
[01:26.47] If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
[01:33.25] Oh, Alexander Hamilton
[01:37.01] I have soldiers that will yield for you
[01:40.53] If we manage to get this right
[01:44.29] They'll surrender by early light
[01:47.30] The world will never be the same, Alexander…
