[JEFFERSON] Yo. Ev’ry action has an equal, opposite reaction John Adams shat the bed. I love the guy, but he’s in traction Poor Alexander Hamilton? He is missing in action So now I’m facing—
[JEFFERSON AND MADISON] Aaron Burr!
[JEFFERSON] With his own faction
[MADISON] He’s very attractive in the North. New Yorkers like his chances
[JEFFERSON] He’s not very forthcoming on any particular stances
[MADISON] Ask him a question: it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances
[JEFFERSON] And they say I’m a Francophile: at least they know I know where France is!
[MADISON] Thomas that’s the problem, see, they see Burr as a less extreme you
[JEFFERSON] Ha!
[MADISON] You need to change course, a key endorsement might redeem you
[JEFFERSON] Who did you have in mind?
[MADISON] Don’t laugh
[JEFFERSON] Who is it?
[MADISON] You used to work on the same staff
[JEFFERSON] Whaaaat
[MADISON] It might be nice, it might be nice To get Hamilton on your side It might be nice, it might be nice To have some pressure indirectly applied
[JEFFERSON] Just tell him that Burr might win
[MADISON] He might!
[JEFFERSON] He'll act out of pride
[MADISON] He can't help himself
[JEFFERSON AND MADISON] It might be nice, it might be nice To have Hamilton on your side
[BURR] Talk less!
Smile more!
Don’t let ‘em know what you’re against or what you’re for!
Shake hands with him!
Charm her!
It’s eighteen hundred, ladies, tell your husbands: vote for Burr!
[MALE VOTER] I don’t like Adams
[FEMALE VOTER] Well, he’s gonna lose, that’s just defeatist
[ANOTHER MALE VOTER] And Jefferson—
[TWO MEN] In love with France!
[ANOTHER FEMALE VOTER] Yeah, he’s so elitist!
[TWO WOMEN] I like that Aaron Burr!
[A WOMAN] I can’t believe we’re here with him!
[A MAN] He seems approachable…?
[ANOTHER MALE VOTER] Like you could grab a beer with him!
[ENSEMBLE] Dear Mr. Hamilton: your fellow Fed’ralists would like to know how you’ll be voting
[HAMILTON] It’s quiet uptown
[ENSEMBLE] Dear Mr. Hamilton: John Adams doesn’t stand a chance, so who are you promoting?
[HAMILTON] It’s quiet uptown
[MEN] Jefferson or Burr? We know it’s lose-lose Jefferson or Burr? But if you had to choose
[WOMEN] Jefferson or Burr? We know it’s lose-lose Jefferson or Burr? But if you had to choose
[EVEN MORE VOTERS] Dear Mr. Hamilton: John Adams doesn’t stand a chance so who are you promoting? But if you had to choose
[MEN] Jefferson or Burr? We know it’s lose-lose Jefferson or Burr? But if you had to choose
[WOMEN] Jefferson or Burr? We know it’s lose-lose Jefferson or Burr? But if you had to choose
[HAMILTON] Well, if it isn’t Aaron Burr. Sir!
[BURR] Alexander!
[HAMILTON] You’ve created quite a stir, sir!
[BURR] I’m going door to door!
[HAMILTON] You’re openly campaigning?
[BURR] Sure!
[HAMILTON] That’s new
[BURR] Honestly, it’s kind of draining
[HAMILTON] Burr—
[BURR] Look To be the president you have to be on precedent
[HAMILTON] Okay I guess but take your line of reasoning and extend it Is there anything you wouldn't do?
[BURR] No. I’m chasing what I want And you know what?
[HAMILTON] What?
[BURR] I learned that from you
[MADISON] The votes are in And I'll be damned
[JEFFERSON] Well?
[MADISON] The electoral college is a tie Now it's up to the Federalist delegates that Hamilton has in his pocket He could decide this election
[ENSEMBLE] If you had to choose If you had to choose
[HAMILTON] Yo I probably shouldn't be adding my voice But the people are facing a difficult choice And if you were to ask me who I'd prefer Don't vote Burr I have never agreed with Jefferson once We've been fighting on like twenty five different fronts But when all is said and all is done Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none
[ENSEMBLE] Oooooooooooooh
[MADISON AND JEFFERSON] Well, I’ll be damned Well, I’ll be damned
[MADISON] Hamilton’s on your side
[ENSEMBLE] Well, I’ll be damned Well, I’ll be damned
[JEFFERSON] Well?
[MADISON] You won in a landslide
[BURR] Congrats on a race well-run I did give you a fight
[JEFFERSON] Uh-huh
[BURR] I look forward to our partnership
[JEFFERSON] Our partnership?
[BURR] As your vice-President
[JEFFERSON] Ha. Yeah, right You hear this guy? Man openly campaigns against me, talkin’ bout, “I look forward to our partnership.”
[MADISON] It is crazy that the man who comes in second gets to be Vice President
[JEFFERSON] Yeah, you know what? We can change that. You know why? ‘cuz I’m the President. /laugh/Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
