lin-manuel miranda - lafayette interlude lyrics
[burr]
how does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
somehow defeat a global superpower?
how does king george underestimate his haters?
[king george iii]
once we beat the traitors, we’ll be greeted as liberators!
[company]
yay!
[burr]
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!
[company]
lafayette!
[lafayette]
i’m takin this horse by the reins makin’
redcoats redder with bloodstains
[company]
lafayette!
[lafayette]
and i’m never gonna stop ’til i make ‘em
drop, burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, i’m—
[company]
lafayette!
[lafayette]
watch me escapin’ em! engagin’ em!
enragin’ em! i’m—
[company]
lafayette!
[lafayette]
i go to france for more funds
[company]
lafayette!
[lafayette]
i come back with more
[lafayette and ensemble]
guns
and ships
and so the balance shifts
[washington]
we rendezvous with rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
[lafayette]
we can end the war at yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
if we’re to succeed, there’s someone else we need:
[washington]
please
[washington and company]
hamilton!
[lafayette]
sir, he knows what to do in a trench
ingenuitive and fluent in french, i mean—
[washington and company]
hamilton!
[lafayette]
sir, you’re gonna have to use him eventually
what’s he gonna do on the bench? i mean—
[washington and company]
hamilton!
[lafayette]
no one has more resilience
or matches my practical tactical brilliance—
[washington and company]
hamilton!
[lafayette]
you wanna fight for your land back?
[washington and company]
hamilton!
[lafayette]
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!
[washington]
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…
