[00:02.72]How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
[00:07.50]Somehow defeat a global superpower?
[00:10.53]How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
[00:13.95]Leave the battlefield, waving Betsy Ross' flag higher?
[00:17.70]Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon
[00:20.42]An immigrant, you know and love, who's unafraid to step in
[00:24.12]He's constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen
[00:27.85]Ev'ryone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman
[00:31.32]Lafayette!
[00:32.17]I'm takin' this horse by the reins makin'
[00:33.50]Redcoats redder with bloodstains
[00:34.89]Lafayette!
[00:35.55]And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em
[00:36.88]Drop and burn 'em up and scatter their remains, I'm
[00:38.30]Lafayette!
[00:39.16]Watch me engagin' 'em! Escapin' 'em!
[00:40.64]Enragin' 'em! I'm-
[00:41.74]Lafayette!
[00:42.34]I go to France for more funds
[00:43.54]Lafayette!
[00:44.08]I come back with more guns
[00:45.74]And ships
[00:46.71]And so the balance shifts
[00:48.47]We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
[00:51.82]We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
[00:55.72]For this to succeed, there is someone else we need
[00:58.64]I know
[00:59.16]Hamilton!
[00:59.67]Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
[01:01.19]Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean-
[01:02.68]Hamilton!
[01:03.22]Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
[01:04.93]What's he gonna do on the bench, ami?
[01:06.18]Hamilton!
[01:06.88]No one has more resilience
[01:07.60]Or matches my practical tactical brilliance
[01:09.60]Hamilton
[01:10.26]You wanna fight for your land back?
[01:11.33]Hamilton!
[01:12.06]I need my right-hand man back!
[01:13.12](Hamilton) get ya right-hand man, back
[01:14.85]You know you gotta get ya right-hand man back
[01:16.56]I mean you gotta put some thought
[01:17.68]Into the letter but the sooner, the better
[01:18.88]To get your right-hand man back
[01:20.06]Alexander Hamilton
[01:23.17]Troops are waiting in the field for you
[01:26.96]If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
[01:33.72]Oh, Alexander Hamilton
[01:37.51]I have soldiers that will yield for you
[01:41.15]If we manage to get this right
[01:44.44]They'll surrender by early light
[01:47.78]The world will never be the same, Alexander
