[BURR]
Ah, Mister Secretary
[HAMILTON]
Mister Burr, sir
[BURR]
Did'ya hear the news about good old General Mercer?
[HAMILTON]
No
[BURR]
You know Clermont Street?
[HAMILTON]
Yeah
[BURR]
They renamed it after him. The Mercer legacy is secure
[HAMILTON]
Sure
[BURR]
And all he had to do was die
[HAMILTON]
Yeah, that's a lot less work
[BURR]
We oughta give it a try
[HAMILTON]
Ha
[BURR]
Now, how're you gonna get your debt plan through?
[HAMILTON]
I guess I'm gonna fin'ly have to listen to you
[BURR]
Really?
[HAMILTON]
“Talk less. Smile more.”
[BURR]
Hahaha
[HAMILTON]
Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor
[BURR]
Madison and Jefferson are merciless
[HAMILTON]
Well, hate the sin, love the sinner
[MADISON]
Hamilton!
[HAMILTON]
I'm sorry Burr, I've gotta go
[BURR]
But—
[HAMILTON]
Decisions are happening over dinner
[BURR]
Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a bar
[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]
Diametric'ly opposed, foes
[BURR]
They emerge with a compromise, having opened doors that were
[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]
Previously closed
[ENSEMBLE]
Bros
[BURR]
The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power
A system he can shape however he wants
The Virginians emerge with the nation's capital
And here's the pièce de résistance:
[BURR]
No one else was in
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one else was in
[ENSEMBLE]
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one really knows how the
game is played Game is played
The art of the trade
How the sausage gets made How the sausage gets made
We just assume that it Assume that it happens
happens
But no one else was in The room where it happens
the room where it happens
[BURR AND COMPANY]
Thomas claims—
[JEFFERSON]
Alexander was on Washington's doorstep one day
In distress ‘n disarray
[COMPANY]
Thomas claims—
[JEFFERSON]
Alexander said—
[HAMILTON]
I've nowhere else to turn!
[JEFFERSON]
And basic'ly begged me to join the fray
[COMPANY]
Thomas claims—
[JEFFERSON]
I approached Madison and said—
“I know you hate ‘im, but let's hear what he has to say.”
[COMPANY]
Thomas claims—
[JEFFERSON]
Well, I arranged the meeting
I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating
[BURR]
But!
No one else was in—
[BURR AND COMPANY]
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
[BURR]
No one else was in—
[BURR AND COMPANY]
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
[BURR]
No one really knows how the
[COMPANY]
Parties get to yesssss Parties get to yesssss
The pieces that are sacrificed
in
Every game of chess Every game of chess
We just assume that it Assume that it happens
happens
But no one else was in The room where it happens
The room where it happens
[BURR AND COMPANY]
Meanwhile—
[BURR]
Madison is grappling with the fact that not ev'ry issue can be settled by committee
[COMPANY]
Meanwhile—
[BURR]
Congress is fighting over where to put the capital—
Company screams in chaos
[BURR]
It isn't pretty
Then Jefferson approaches with a dinner and invite
And Madison responds with Virginian insight:
[MADISON]
Maybe we can solve one problem with another and win a victory for the Southerners, in other words—
[JEFFERSON]
Oh-ho!
[MADISON]
A quid pro quo
[JEFFERSON]
I suppose
[MADISON]
Wouldn't you like to work a little closer to home?
[JEFFERSON]
Actually, I would
[MADISON]
Well, I propose the Potomac
[JEFFERSON]
And you'll provide him his votes?
[MADISON]
Well, we'll see how it goes
[JEFFERSON]
Let's go
[BURR]
No!
[COMPANY]
—one else was in
The room where it happened
[BURR AND COMPANY]
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one else was in
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
[BURR]
My God!
[BURR AND COMPANY]
In God we trust
But we'll never really know what got discussed
Click-boom then it happened
[BURR]
And no one else was in the room where it happened
[COMPANY]
Alexander Hamilton!
[BURR]
What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river?
[COMPANY]
Alexander Hamilton!
[BURR]
Did Washington know about the dinner?
Was there Presidential pressure to deliver?
[COMPANY]
Alexander Hamilton!
[BURR]
Or did you know, even then, it doesn't matter
Where you put the U.S. Capital?
[HAMILTON]
Cuz we'll have the banks
New York is undiminished
[BURR]
You got more than you gave
[HAMILTON]
Checkmate, game finished
[BURR]
I
I wanna be in
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
I
Wanna be in
The room where it happens
The room where it happens
[BURR] [COMPANY]
I I wanna be in
The room where it happens
I wanna be in The room where it happens
The room where it happens The room where it happens
I I wanna be in the room
Where it happens
I wanna be in the room... The room where it happens
Oh The room where it happens
Oh I wanna be in
The room where it happens
I wanna be The room where it happens
I wanna be The room where it happens
I've got to be I wanna be in
I've got to be The room where it happens
In that room The room where it happens
In that big ol' room The room where it happens
[COMPANY]
The art of the compromise—
[BURR]
Hold your nose and close your eyes
[COMPANY]
We want our leaders to save the day—
[BURR]
But we don't get a say in what they trade away
[COMPANY]
We dream of a brand new start—
[BURR]
Yeah but we dream in the dark for the most part
[BURR AND COMPANY]
Dark as a tomb where it happens
[BURR]
I've got to be in the...
[COMPANY]
The room where it happens
I've got to be in the...
The room where it happens
I've got to be in the...
The room where it happens
I've got to be, oh
I wanna be in
The room where it happens
Click-boom!
Click-boom!
