original broadway cast of 1776 - the egg lyrics

Loading...

[adams]
it’s a masterpiece, i say
they will cheer every word, every letter

[jefferson]
i wish i felt that way

[franklin]
i believe i can put it better
now then attend, as friend to friend
our declaration committee
for us i see immortality

[adams, jefferson & franklin]
in philadelphia city

[franklin]
a farmer, a lawyer, and a sage
a bit gouty in the leg
you know, it’s quite bizarre
to think that here we are
playing midwives to an egg

[adams, spoken]
egg? what egg?

[franklin, spoken]
america. the birth of a new nation!

[adams]
we’re waiting for the —

[adams, jefferson & franklin]
chirp, chirp, chirp
of an eaglet being born
waiting for the chirp, chirp, chirp
on this humid monday morning in this
congressional incubator

[franklin]
god knows the temperature’s hot enough
to hatch a stone, let alone an egg

[adams, jefferson & franklin]
we’re waiting for the
scratch, scratch, scratch
of that tiny little fellow
waiting for the egg to hatch
on this humid monday morning in this
congressional incubator

[adams]
god knows the temperature’s hot enough
to hatch a stone

[jefferson]
but will it hatch an egg?

[adams]
the eagle’s going to crack the sh-ll
of the egg that england laid

[adams, jefferson & franklin]
yes, sir, we can
tell, tell, tell
on this humid monday morning in this
congressional incubator

[franklin]
and just as tom here has written
though the sh-ll may belong to great britain
the eagle inside belongs to us

[adams & franklin]
and just as tom here has written

[adams, jefferson & franklin]
we say, “to h-ll with great britain!”
the eagle inside belongs to us!
