Guns And Ships
[00:02.51] How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
[00:07.27] Somehow defeat a global superpower?
[00:10.02] How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
[00:13.51] Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross’ flag higher?
[00:17.27] Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon!
[00:20.02] An immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in!
[00:23.77] He’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the British henchmen
[00:27.28] Ev’ryone give it up for America’s favorite fighting Frenchman!
[00:30.78] Lafayette!
[00:31.78] I’m takin this horse by the reins makin’
[00:33.27] Redcoats redder with bloodstains
[00:34.53] Lafayette!
[00:35.03] And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em
[00:36.28] Drop and burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I’m
[00:37.78] Lafayette!
[00:39.02] Watch me engagin’ em! Escapin’ em!
[00:40.28] Enragin’ em! I’m—
[00:41.28] Lafayette!
[00:42.03] I go to France for more funds
[00:43.03] Lafayette!
[00:43.78] I come back with more
[00:44.79] Guns
[00:45.53] And ships
[00:46.53] And so the balance shifts
[00:48.29] We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
[00:51.55] We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
[00:55.54] For this to succeed, there is someone else we need:
[00:58.19] I know
[00:58.69] Hamilton!
[00:59.44] Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
[01:01.20] Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean—
[01:02.20] Hamilton!
[01:02.95] Sir, you’re gonna have to use him eventually
[01:04.20] What’s he gonna do on the bench? I mean—
[01:05.70] Hamilton!
[01:06.53] No one has more resilience
[01:07.53] Or matches my practical tactical brilliance—
[01:09.29] Hamilton!
[01:09.79] You wanna fight for your land back? (Hamilton!)
[01:11.53] I need my right hand man back! (Hamilton!)
[01:12.79] Ah! Uh, get ya right hand man back
[01:14.62] You know you gotta get ya right hand man back
[01:16.38] I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter
[01:17.88] But the sooner the better to get your right hand man back!
[01:19.63] Alexander Hamilton
[01:22.63] Troops are waiting in the field for you
[01:26.38] If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
[01:33.14] Oh, Alexander Hamilton
[01:37.15] I have soldiers that will yield for you
[01:40.65] If we manage to get this right
[01:43.91] They’ll surrender by early light
[01:47.41] The world will never be the same, Alexander…
