[00:03.50] Seventeen. Se- se- seventeen...
[00:06.79] Se- se- seventeen...
[00:08.80] 1789
[00:10.57] How does the bastard orphan
[00:12.56] Immigrant decorated war vet
[00:14.53] Unite the colonies through more debt?
[00:16.53] Fight the other founding fathers 'til he has to forfeit?
[00:19.29] Have it all, lose it all
[00:21.05] You ready for more yet?
[00:22.32] Treasury Secretary. Washington's the President
[00:25.04] Ev'ry American experiment sets a precedent
[00:27.04] Not so fast. Someone came along to resist him
[00:30.54] Pissed him off until we had a two-party system
[00:33.29] You haven't met him yet, you haven't had the chance
[00:35.79] 'Cause he's been kickin' ass as the ambassador to France
[00:38.53] But someone's gotta keep the American promise
[00:41.54] You simply must meet Thomas. Thomas!
[00:44.27] Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
[00:48.04] Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
[00:49.78] Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
[00:52.81] Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
[00:55.04] Thomas Jefferson's coming home
[00:57.54] Lord, he's been off in Paris for so long!
[01:06.27] Aaa-ooo!
[01:11.53] Aaa-ooo!
[01:12.79] France is following us to revolution
[01:15.06] There is no more status quo
[01:18.79] But the sun comes up and the world still spins
[01:23.30] I helped Lafayette draft a declaration
[01:25.54] Then I said, 'I gotta go
[01:28.57] I gotta be in Monticello.'
[01:31.03] Now the work at home begins
[01:37.06] So what'd I miss?
[01:40.28] What'd I miss?
[01:43.04] Virginia, my home sweet home, I wanna give you a kiss
[01:48.04] I've been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies
[01:50.82] I guess I basic'lly missed the late eighties
[01:53.56] I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this
[01:59.63] There's a letter on my desk from the President
[02:03.12] Haven't even put my bags down yet
[02:04.64] Sally be a lamb, darlin', won't cha open it?
[02:07.37] It says the President's assembling a cabinet
[02:09.90] And that I am to be the Secretary of State, great!
[02:12.65] And that I'm already Senate-approved
[02:14.92] I just got home and now I'm headed up to New York
[02:20.90] Lookin' at the rolling fields
[02:22.38] I can't believe that we are free
[02:26.96] Ready to face
[02:27.94] Whatever's awaiting
[02:28.95] Me in N.Y.C.
[02:31.69] But who's waitin' for me when I step in the place?
[02:34.20] My friend James Madison, red in the face
[02:36.94] He grabs my arm and I respond
[02:40.20] "What's goin' on?" (Aaa-ooo!)
[02:43.21] Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation's very soul
[02:48.94] Can you get us out of the mess we're in?
[02:52.94] Hamilton's new financial plan is nothing less
[02:55.97] Than government control
[02:58.71] I've been fighting for the South alone
[03:02.02] Where have you been?
[03:03.49] Uh... France
[03:06.23] We have to win
[03:07.47] What'd I miss? (What, what, what'd I miss?)
[03:10.24] What'd I miss? (I've come home to this)
[03:12.95] Headfirst into a political abyss!
[03:18.47] I have my first cabinet meeting today (chicka-pow!)
[03:20.98] I guess I better think of something to say
[03:23.22] I'm already on my way
[03:25.72] Let's get to the bottom of this
[03:30.22] Mr. Jefferson, welcome home
[03:33.72] Mr. Jefferson? Alexander Hamilton
[03:35.72] Mr. Jefferson, welcome home
[03:41.20] Mr. Jefferson, welcome home
[03:43.72] Sir, you've been off in Paris for so long!
[03:51.47] So what did I miss?
