lin-manuel miranda - your obedient servant (first draft) lyrics

[burr]
how does an arrogant
insolent, immigrant, orphan
b-st-rd, wh0r-son
somehow endorse
an aristocratic southern adversary
impossibly connected
and keep me from being elected?
i wanna be in the—

[burr & company]
room where it happens
the room where it happens
the room where it happens

[burr]
you’ve kept me from the—

[burr & company]
room where it happens

[burr]
for the last time

dear alexander:

i submit for your immediate perusal
a letter from a doctor charles cooper
who was kind enough to give me his approval
to reprint a letter that he sent in confidence
he claims that on numerous occasions
you have called me “a dangerous man”
furthermore i “ought not be trusted with the reins of government”
obviously such an accusation must be met with either an immediate acknowledgement or disavowal
now, are you capable of such a thing?

i have the honor to be your obedient servant,
a dot burr

[hamilton]
dear mr. burr:

i’ve reflected on the letter i received from you
on the afternoon of june 18th
and i’m afraid that i cannot provide you
with the kind of answer that you’re looking for
the phrase “numerous occasions”
in place of actual situations
conveys infinite shades
it’s way too vague a phrase to pin to serious allegations

[burr]
what?

[hamilton]
listen now; how am i to disavow
something so unspecific?
“dangerous with the reigns of government,” wow
surely i said something less b-n-l
be realistic now

i have the honor to be your obedient servant,
a dot hamilton

[burr]
careful how you proceed, young man
intemperate indeed, young man
answer for the accusations i lay at your feet or
prepare to bleed, young man

[hamilton]
no. you know what? i don’t like your tone
lay it at my feet, i kick it down the road
sorry if your life is difficult without your wife
you have to be more specific though

[burr]
how’s this for specific, alexander?
weehawken. dawn.
guns. drawn.

[hamilton]
you’re on.

[burr & hamilton]
i have the honor to be your obedient servant,

[hamilton]
a dot ham

[burr]
a dot burr
