Laurens Interlude

How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How does King George underestimate his haters?
Once we beat the traitors, we'll be greeted as liberators!
Yay!

Now, 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 henchmen
Ev'ryone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman!
Lafayette!
I'm takin this horse by the reins makin'
Redcoats redder with bloodstains
Lafayette!

And I'm never gonna stop 'til I make ‘em
Drop, burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I'm
Lafayette!

Watch me escapin' em! Engagin' em!
Enragin' em! I'm
Lafayette!
I go to France for more funds
Lafayette!
I come back with more
Guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
We can end the war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
If we're to succeed, there's someone else we need:
Please
Hamilton!

Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean
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!

Ya need your right hand man back!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ya need your right hand man back
Get your right hand man back
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
Alexander Hamilton
I have soldiers who will yield for you
If we manage to get this right
They'll surrender by early light
The world will never be the same, Alexander.
