guns and ships - original broadway cast of hamilton lyrics

[burr]
how does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
somehow defeat a global superpower?
how do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
leave the battlefield waving betsy ross’ flag higher?
yo. turns out we have a secret weapon!
an immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in!
he’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the british henchmen
ev’ryone give it up for america’s favorite fighting frenchman!

[company]
lafayette!

[lafayette]
i’m takin this horse by the reins makin’
redcoats redder with bloodstains

[company]
lafayette!

[lafayette]
and i’m never gonna stop until i make ‘em
drop and burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, i’m

[company]
lafayette!

[lafayette]
watch me engagin’ em! escapin’ em!
enragin’ em! i’m—

[company]
lafayette!

[lafayette]
i go to france for more funds

[company]
lafayette!

[lafayette]
i come back with more

[lafayette and ensemble]
guns
and ships
and so the balance shifts

[washington]
we rendezvous with rochambeau, consolidate their gifts

[lafayette]
we can end this war at yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
for this to succeed, there is someone else we need:

[washington]
i know

[washington and company]
hamilton!

[lafayette]
sir, he knows what to do in a trench
ingenuitive and fluent in french, i mean—

[washington and company]
hamilton!

[lafayette]
sir, you’re gonna have to use him eventually
what’s he gonna do on the bench? i mean—

[washington and company]
hamilton!

[lafayette]
no one has more resilience
or matches my practical tactical brilliance—

[washington and company]
hamilton!

[lafayette & company]
you wanna fight for your land back? (hamilton!)

[washington & women]
i need my right hand man back! (hamilton!)

[lafayette, women, men]
ah! uh, get ya right hand man back
get your right hand man back!
hamilton!
you know you gotta get ya right hand man back
your right hand man back!
hamilton!
i mean you gotta put some thought into the letter
ha—ha—hamilton
but the sooner the better to get your right hand man back!
hamilton, ha—ha—

[washington]
alexander hamilton
troops are waiting in the field for you
if you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
oh, alexander hamilton
i have soldiers that will yield for you
if we manage to get this right
they’ll surrender by early light
the world will never be the same, alexander…
