Washington:

Ladies and Gentlemen

You could've been anywhere in the world tonight

But you're right here with us in New York City

Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?

The issue on the table:

Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank

Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor Ma'am

Jefferson:

'Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'

We fought for these ideals we shouldn't settle for less

These are wise words and surprising men quote 'em

Don't act surprised, you guys, cause I wrote 'em

Oww, but Hamilton forgets

Her plan would have the government assume state debts

Now! Place your bets as to who that benefits.

The very seat of government where Hamilton sits

Alex:

Not true!!

Jefferson:

Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it

If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it?

Uhh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid

Don't tax the South cause we got it made in the shade

In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground

We create, you just wanna move our money around

This financial plan is an outrageous demand and it's too many damn pages

For any man to understand

Stand with me. In the land of the free

Pray to god we never see Hamilton's candidacy

Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky

Imagine what gon happen when you try to tax our whiskey

Georgia:

Thank you, Secretary Jefferson

(crowd: that's my alcohol)

Secretary Hamilton, you're response

Alex:

Tory, that was a real nice declaration

Welcome to the present, we're running a real nation

Would you like to join us?

Or staying mellow doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello

We assume the debts the union gets

A new line of credit, a financial diuretic,

How do you not get it?

If we're aggressive and competitive

The union gets a boost

You'd rather give it a sedative

A civics lesson from a slaver. Hey neighbor

Your debts are paid cause you don't pay for labor

'We plant seeds in the south, we create' Yeah keep ranting

We know who's really doing the planting

(oohhh)

And another thing 'Mrs. Age of Enlightenment'

Don't lecture me about the war

You didn't fight in it

You think I'm frightened of you girl?

We almost died in the trench

While you were off getting high with the French!

Tory Jefferson always hesitant with the president

Reticent-there is a plan she doesn't jettison

Madison, you mad as a hatter, so take your medicine

Damn, you're in worse shape than the national debt is in

Sittin' there useless as two shits

Hey! Turn around, bend over, I'll show you where my shoe fits!

Company:

OOOHHHH

Georgia:

Excuse me!

Madison, Jefferson, take a walk

Hamilton take a walk!

We'll reconvene after a brief recess

Hamilton!

Alex:

Ma'am?

Georgia:

A word

Jamie Madison:

You don't have the votes

Jamie/Tory:

You don't have the votes

Tory:

Ah ha ha ha ha

Jamie/Tory:

You're gonna need congressional approval

And you don't have the votes

Tory:

Such a blunder

Sometimes it makes me wonder

Why I even bring the thunder

Jamie:

Why she even brings the thunder

Georgia:

You wanna watch pull yourself together?

Alex:

I'm sorry, these Virginians are birds of a feather

Georgia:

Young lady, I'm from Virginia, so watch your mouth

Alex:

So we let Congress get held hostage by the South?

Georgia:

You need the votes

Alex:

No, we need bold strokes, we need this plan

Georgia:

No, you need to convince more folks

Alex:

Well, Jamie Madison won't talk to me, that's a non-starter

Georgia:

Winning's easy, young lady, governing harder

Alex:

They're being intransigent

Georgia:

You have to find a compromise

Alex:

But they don't have a plan, they just hate mine

Georgia:

Convince them otherwise

Alex:

And what happens if I don't get congressional approval?

Georgia:

Well, I imagine they'll call for your removal

Alex:

Ma'am-

Georgia:

Figure it out, Alexandria

That's an order from your commander
