Guns and Ships
[00:02.65] How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
[00:07.15] Somehow defeat a global superpower?
[00:09.91] How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
[00:13.40] Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross' flag higher?
[00:17.41] Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon!
[00:20.16] An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in!
[00:23.65] He's constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen
[00:27.40] Everyone give it up for America's favourite fighting Frenchman!
[00:30.90] Lafayette!
[00:31.65] I'm taking this horse by the reins makin' redcoats redder with bloodstains
[00:34.40] Lafayette!
[00:35.30] And I'm never gonna stop
[00:35.95] Until I make 'em drop
[00:36.44] And burn 'em up and scatter their remains,
[00:37.70] I'm
[00:38.09] Lafayette!
[00:38.60] Watch me engagin' 'em,
[00:39.73] Escapin' 'em!
[00:40.23] Enragin' 'em.
[00:41.23] I'm
[00:41.63] Lafayette!
[00:42.12] I go to France for more funds
[00:43.12] Lafayette!
[00:43.62] I come back with more
[00:44.62] Guns
[00:45.62] And ships
[00:46.62] And so the balance shifts
[00:48.12] We rendezvous
[00:48.87] With Rochambeau,
[00:50.12] Consolidate their gifts
[00:51.37] We can end this war in Yorktown, cut them off at sea,
[00:54.87] But for this to succeed,
[00:56.63] There is someone else we need:
[00:58.12] I know
[00:58.62] Hamilton!
[00:59.37] Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
[01:00.87] Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean
[01:02.12] Hamilton!
[01:02.87] Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
[01:04.37] What's he gonna do on the bench? I mean
[01:05.62] Hamilton!
[01:06.37] No one has more resilience
[01:07.37] Or matches my practical tactical brilliance
[01:08.88] Hamilton!
[01:09.87] You wanna fight for your land back?
[01:11.11] Hamilton!
[01:11.63] I need my right-hand man back!
[01:12.62] Hamilton!
[01:13.37] Ah! Uh, get ya right-hand man back (Get your right-hand man back!)
[01:14.87] You know you gotta get ya right hand man back (Your right-hand man back!)
[01:16.12] I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter (Hamilton!)
[01:17.87] But the sooner the better (Hamilton! Hamilton!)
[01:18.61] To get your right hand man back! (Ha ha)
[01:19.75] Alexander Hamilton
[01:22.76] Troops are waiting in the field for you
[01:26.25] If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
[01:33.51] Oh, Alexander Hamilton
[01:37.00] I have soldiers that will yield for you
[01:40.51] If we manage to get this right
[01:44.00] They'll surrender by early light
[01:47.51] The world will never be the same, Alexander…
