lin-manuel miranda - the election of 1800 (off-broadway) lyrics
[full company]
the election of 1800
[jefferson]
can we get back to politics?
[madison]
please?
[jefferson]
yo. ev’ry action has an equal, opposite reaction
john adams shat the bed. i love the guy, but he’s in traction
poor alexander hamilton? he is missing in action
so now i’m facing—
[jefferson and madison]
aaron burr!
[jefferson]
with his own faction
[madison]
he’s very attractive in the north. new yorkers like his chances
[jefferson]
he’s not very forthcoming on any particular stances
[madison]
ask him a question: it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances
[jefferson]
and they say i’m a francophile: at least they know i know where france is!
[madison]
thomas that’s the problem, see, they see burr as a less extreme you
[jefferson]
ha!
[madison]
you need to change course, a key endors-m-nt might redeem you
[jefferson]
who did you have in mind?
[madison]
don’t laugh
[jefferson]
who is it?
[madison]
you used to work on the same staff
[jefferson]
whaaaat
[madison]
it might be nice, it might be nice
to get hamilton on your side
it might be nice, it might be nice
to have some pressure indirectly applied
[jefferson]
just tell him that burr might win
[madison]
he might!
[jefferson]
he’ll act out of pride
[madison]
he can’t help himself
[jefferson and madison]
it might be nice, it might be nice
to have hamilton on your side
[burr]
talk less!
smile more!
don’t let ‘em know what you’re against or what you’re for!
shake hands with him!
charm her!
it’s eighteen hundred, ladies, tell your husbands: vote for
burr!
[male voter]
i don’t like adams
[female voter]
well, he’s gonna lose, that’s just defeatist
[another male voter]
and jefferson—
[two men]
in love with france!
[another female voter]
yeah, he’s so elitist!
[two women]
i like that aaron burr!
[a woman]
i can’t believe we’re here with him!
[a man]
he seems approachable…?
[another male voter]
like you could grab a beer with him!
[ensemble]
dear mr. hamilton: your fellow fed’ralists would like to know how you’ll be voting
[hamilton]
it’s quiet uptown
[ensemble]
dear mr. hamilton: john adams doesn’t stand a chance, so who are you promoting?
[hamilton]
it’s quiet uptown
[men]
jefferson or burr?
we know it’s lose-lose
jefferson or burr?
but if you had to choose
[women]
jefferson or burr?
we know it’s lose-lose
jefferson or burr?
but if you had to choose
[even more voters]
dear mr. hamilton:
john adams doesn’t stand a chance so who are you promoting?
but if you had to choose
[men]
jefferson or burr?
we know it’s lose-lose
jefferson or burr?
but if you had to choose
[women]
jefferson or burr?
we know it’s lose-lose
jefferson or burr?
but if you had to choose
[hamilton]
well, if it isn’t aaron burr. sir!
[burr]
alexander!
[hamilton]
you’ve created quite a stir, sir!
[burr]
i’m going door to door!
[hamilton]
you’re openly campaigning?
[burr]
sure!
[hamilton]
that’s new
[burr]
honestly, it’s kind of draining
[hamilton]
burr—
[burr]
look
to be the president you have to be unprecedented
[hamilton]
okay i guess but take your line of reasoning and extend it
is there anything you wouldn’t do?
[burr]
no. i’m chasing what i want
and you know what?
[hamilton]
what?
[burr]
i learned that from you
[madison]
the votes are in
and i’ll be d-mned
[jefferson]
well?
[madison]
the electoral college is a tie
now it’s up to the federalist delegates that hamilton has in his pocket
he could decide this election
[ensemble]
if you had to choose
if you had to choose
[hamilton]
yo
i probably shouldn’t be adding my voice
but the people are facing a difficult choice
and if you were to ask me who i’d prefer
don’t vote burr
i have never agreed with jefferson once
we’ve been fighting on like twenty five different fronts
but when all is said and all is done
jefferson has beliefs. burr has none
[ensemble]
oooooooooooooh
[madison and jefferson]
well, i’ll be d-mned
well, i’ll be d-mned
[madison]
hamilton’s on your side
[ensemble]
well, i’ll be d-mned
well, i’ll be d-mned
[jefferson]
well?
[madison]
you won in a landslide
[burr]
congrats on a race well-run
i did give you a fight
[jefferson]
uh-huh
[burr]
i look forward to our partnership
[jefferson]
our partnership?
[burr]
as your vice-president
[jefferson]
ha. yeah, right
you hear this guy? man openly campaigns against me, talkin’ bout, “i look forward to our partnership.”
[madison]
it is crazy that the man who comes in second gets to be vice president
[jefferson]
yeah, you know what? we can change that. you know why?
‘cuz i’m the president
