[company]

[ensemble 1 & ensemble 2]
thirty-two thousand troops in new york harbor
thirty-two thousand troops in new york harbor

when they surround our troops!

[hamilton]
as a kid in the caribbean i wished for a war
i knew that i was poor
i knew it was the only way to—

[hamilton/burr/mulligan/laurens/lafayette]
rise up!

[hamilton]
if they tell my story
i am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or—

[hamilton/burr/mulligan/laurens/lafayette]
rise up!

[hamilton]
i will fight for this land
but there’s only one man
who can give us a command so we can—

[hamilton/burr/mulligan/laurens/lafayette]
rise up!

[hamilton]
understand? it’s the only way to—

[hamilton/burr/mulligan/laurens/lafayette]
rise up! rise up!

[hamilton]
here he comes!

[ensemble]
here comes the general!

[burr]
ladies and gentlemen!

[ensemble]
here comes the general!

[burr]
the moment you’ve been waiting for!

[ensemble]
here comes the general!

[burr]
the pride of mount vernon!

[ensemble]
here comes the general!

[burr]
george washington!

[washington & ensemble]
we are outgunned (what?)
outmanned (what?)
outnumbered
outplanned (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
we gotta make an all out stand
ayo, i’m gonna need a right-hand man
(buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)

[washington]
check it—
can i be real a second?
for just a millisecond?
let down my guard and tell the people how i feel a second?
now i’m the model of a modern major general
the venerated virginian veteran whose men are all
lining up, to put me up on a pedestal
writin’ letters to relatives
embellishin’ my elegance and eloquence
but the elephant is in the room
the truth is in ya face when ya hear the british cannons go…

[ensemble]
boom!

[washington]
any hope of success is fleeting
how can i keep leading when the people i’m
leading keep retreating?
we put a stop to the bleeding as the british take brooklyn
knight takes rook, but look

[hamilton]
they’re battering down the battery check the damages

[mulligan]
rah!

[hamilton]
we gotta stop ‘em and rob ‘em of their advantages

[mulligan]
rah!

[hamilton]
let’s take a stand with the stamina god has granted us
hamilton won’t abandon ship
yo, let’s steal their cannons—

[mulligan & company]
shh-boom! (boom!)

[washington]
goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray and…

[company]
boom!

[washington]
goes the cannon, we’re abandonin’ kips bay and…

[company]
boom!

[washington]
there’s another ship and…

[company]
boom!

[washington]
we just lost the southern tip and…

[company]
boom!

[washington]
we gotta run to harlem quick, we can’t afford another slip
guns and horses giddyup
i decide to divvy up
my forces, they’re skittish as the british cut the city up
this close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny
i scream in the face of this m-ss mutiny:
are these the men with which i am to defend america?
we ride at midnight, manhattan in the distance
i cannot be everywhere at once, people
i’m in dire need of -ssistance…

[burr]
your excellency, sir!

[washington]
who are you?

[burr]
aaron burr, sir?
permission to state my case?

[washington]
as you were

[burr]
sir
i was a captain under general montgomery
until he caught a bullet in the neck in quebec
and well, in summary
i think that i could be of some -ssistance
i admire how you keep firing on the british
from a distance

[washington]
huh

[burr]
i have some questions, a couple of suggestions on how to fight instead of fleeing west

[washington]
yes?

[burr]
well—

[hamilton]
your excellency, you wanted to see me?

[washington]
hamilton, come in, have you met burr?

[hamilton]
yes, sir

[hamilton & burr]
we keep meeting

[burr]
as i was saying, sir, i look forward to seeing your strategy play out

[washington]
burr?

[burr]
sir?

[washington]
close the door on your way out

(burr exits.)

[hamilton]
have i done something wrong, sir?

[washington]
on the contrary
i called you here because our odds are beyond scary
your reputation precedes you, but i have to laugh

[hamilton]
sir?

[washington]
hamilton, how come no one can get you on their staff?

[hamilton]
sir!

[washington]
don’t get me wrong, you’re a young man of great renown
i know you stole british cannons when we were still downtown
nathaniel green and henry knox wanted to hire you…

[hamilton]
to be their secretary? i don’t think so

[washington]
why’re you upset?

[hamilton]
i’m not—

[washington]
it’s alright, you want to fight, you’ve got a hunger
i was just like you when i was younger
head full of fantasies of dyin’ like a martyr?

[hamilton]
yes

[washington]
dying is easy, young man. living is harder

[hamilton]
why are you telling me this?

[washington]
i’m being honest
i’m working with a third of what our congress has promised
we are a powder keg about to explode
i need someone like you to lighten the load. so?

[company except hamilton]
i am not throwin’ away my shot!
i am not throwin’ away my shot!
ayo, i’m just like my country, i’m young
scr-ppy and hungry!

[hamilton]
i am not throwing away my shot!

[washington]
son

[washington & company]
we are outgunned, outmanned!

[hamilton]
you need all the help you can get
i have some friends. laurens, mulligan
marquis de lafayette, okay, what else?

[washington & company]
outnumbered, outplanned!

[hamilton]
we’ll need some spies on the inside
some king’s men who might let some things slide

[hamilton, company & eliza/angelica/peggy/women]
boom!
whoa, whoa, whoa
i’ll write to congress and tell ‘em we need supplies, you rally the guys,
master the element of surprise
chicka-boom!
whoa, whoa, whoa…
i’ll rise above my station, organize your information
whoa, whoa, whoa…
’til we rise to the occasion of our new nation. sir!

[ensemble]
here comes the general!

[hamilton]
rise up!

[laurens/lafayette/mulligan]
what?

[ensemble]
here comes the general!

[hamilton/schuyler sisters/women]
rise up!

[laurens/lafayette/mulligan]
what?

[ensemble]
here comes the general!

[hamilton/schuyler sisters]
rise up!

[laurens/lafayette/mulligan]
what?

[company]
here comes the general!

[hamilton]
what?

[washington]
and his right hand man!

[company]
boom!
