Aaron Burr, Sir Lyrics

Company:
1776
New York City

Hamilton:
Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?

Burr:
That depends, who's asking?

Hamilton:
Oh well sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton
I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you

Burr:
I'm getting nervous

Hamilton:
Sir, I heard your name at Princeton
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort out of sorts with a buddy of yours
I may have punched him
It's a blur, sir
He handles the financials

Burr:
You punched the bursar?

Hamilton:
Yes, I wanted to do what you did
Graduate in two, then join the revolution
He looked at me like I was stupid
I'm not stupid
So how'd you do it?
How'd you graduate so fast?

Burr:
It was my parents' dying wish before they passed

Hamilton:
You're an orphan
Of course, I'm an orphan
God, I wish there was a war!
Then we could prove that we're worth more
Than anyone bargained for

Burr:
Can I buy you a drink?

Hamilton:
That would be nice

Burr:
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less

Hamilton:
What?

Burr:
Smile more

Hamilton:
Ha

Burr:
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

Hamilton:
You can't be serious

Burr:
You want to get ahead?

Hamilton:
Yes

Burr:
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead

Laurens:
Yo yo yo yo yo! What time is it?

Laurens, mulligan:
Showtime!

Burr:
...Like I said...

Laurens:
Showtime! Showtime! Yo!
I'm John Laurens in the place to be!
Uh, two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm working on three, uh!
Those redcoats don't want it with me
'Cause I will pop chick-a-pop these cops till I'm free!

Lafayette:
Ah oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!"
Tell the king, "Casse-toi!" Who's the best? C'est moi!

Mulligan:
Brrrah, brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it
Yes I heard your mother say "come again?"

Laurens, lafayette:
Ay

Mulligan:
Lock up your daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets

Laurens:
No more sex
Pour me another brew, son!
Let's raise a couple more

Laurens, lafayette, mulligan:
To the revolution!

Laurens:
Well if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College

Mulligan:
Aaron Burr

Laurens:
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge

Burr:
Good luck with that
You're takin' a stand
You spit, I'mma sit
We'll see where we land

Laurens:
Burr, the revolution's imminent
What do you stall for?

Hamilton:
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?

Laurens:
Who are you?

Mulligan:
Who are you?

Lafayette:
Who are you?

Laurens, mulligan, lafayette:
Who, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
