[00:02.82]How does a ragtag volunteer army, in need of a shower
[00:07.56]Somehow defeat a global superpower?
[00:10.32]How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
[00:13.89]Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross's flag higher?
[00:17.73]Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon
[00:20.49]An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in
[00:24.00]He's constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen
[00:27.87]Everyone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman
[00:31.38]Lafayette!
[00:32.13]I'm taking this horse by the reins
[00:33.33]Making redcoats redder with bloodstains
[00:34.95]Lafayette!
[00:35.58]And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em drop
[00:36.96]And burn 'em up and scatter the remains
[00:38.40]I'm—Lafayette!
[00:39.15]Watch me engaging 'em, escaping 'em, enraging 'em, ow
[00:41.79]Lafayette!
[00:42.48]I go to France for more funds
[00:43.77]Lafayette!
[00:44.19]I come back with more guns
[00:45.90]And ships
[00:46.83]And so the balance shifts
[00:48.48]We rendezvous with Rochambeau
[00:50.43]Consolidate their gifts
[00:51.84]We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
[00:55.74]For this to succeed, there is someone else we need
[00:58.56]I know (Hamilton!)
[00:59.82]Sir, he knows what to do in the trench
[01:01.17]Ingenuitive and fluent in French
[01:02.40]I mean (Hamilton!)
[01:03.30]Sir, you're going to have to use him eventually
[01:04.86]What's he going to do on the bench
[01:05.91]I mean (Hamilton!)
[01:06.81]No one has more resilience
[01:07.83]Or matches my practical, tactical brilliance (Hamilton!)
[01:10.29]You want to fight for your land back? (Hamilton!)
[01:12.03]I need my right hand man back (Hamilton!)
[01:13.47](Ah, uh, ) get your right hand man back (Hamilton!)
[01:14.94](You know you gotta get ya) right hand man back(Hamilton!)
[01:16.56]I mean, you gotta put some thought into the letter (Ha- Ha-)
[01:17.67](Hamilton, Hamilton) But the sooner the better
[01:18.93]To get your right hand man back (Ha- Ha-)
[01:20.22]Alexander Hamilton
[01:23.01]Troops are waiting in the field for you
[01:26.82]If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
[01:34.50]Oh, Alexander Hamilton
[01:37.38]I have soldiers that will yield for you
[01:41.10]If we manage to get this right
[01:44.34]They'll surrender by early light
[01:46.59]The world will never be the same
