Hamilton - Lyrics

Guns And Ships

How does a ragtag volunteer
Army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross's flag higher
Yo
Turns out we have a secret weapon
An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in
He's constantly confusin'
Confoundin' the British henchman
Everyone give it up for America's favorite fightin' Frenchman!

Laffyette!

I'm taking this horse by the reins
Making Redcoats redder with bloodstains

Laffyette!

And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em drop
Burn 'em up, and scatter the remains
I'm

Laffyette

Watch me engaging 'em, escaping 'em
Enragin' 'em out

Laffyette

I go to France for more funds

Laffyette

And I come back with more
Guns and ships
And so the balance shifts

We rendevou with rochambou
Consolidate their gifts

We can end this war at Yorktown
Cut them off at sea, but
For this to succeed there is someone else we need

I know

Hamilton

Sir, he knows what to do in the trench
Inginuitive and fluent in French ami

Hamilton

Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
What's he gonna do on the bench
I mean

Hamilton

No one has more resilience or matches my practical, tactical brilliance

Hamilton

You wanna fight for your land back

Hamilton

I need my right hand man back

Hamilton

Yeah, get your right hand man back
You know you gotta get your right hand man back
I mean, you gotta put some thought into the letter
But the sooner the better to get your right hand man back

Alexander Hamilton,
Troops are waiting in the field for you
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
I have soldiers that will yield for you
If we manage to get this
They'll surrender by early light
The world will never be the same
Alexander...
