My Little Hamilton
Project Overview
If you enjoy Hamilton and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and you love to sing, then you are going to love this little project. After seeing Ricky Downes III's "Hamilton but it's Muppets", I was inspired to try and do something similar with MLP, an entire album with the Hamilton songs sung by MLP Characters. This is going to be a lot of fun to put together, I'm sure.

[Rapping]
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When's it gonna get me?
In my sleep? Seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it comin', do I run or do I let it be?
Is it like a beat without a melody?
See, I never thought I'd live past twenty
Where I come from some get half as many
Ask anybody why we livin' fast and we laugh, reach for a flask
We have to make this moment last, that's plenty
Scratch that
This is not a moment, it's the movement
Where all the hungriest brothers with something to prove went.
Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand
We roll like Moses, claimin' our promised land
And? If we win our independence?
Is that a guarantee of freedom for our descendants?
Or will the blood we shed begin an endless
Cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?
I know the action in the street is excitin'
But Jesus, between all the bleedin' 'n fightin'
I've been readin' 'n writin'
We need to handle our financial situation
Are we a nation of states? What's the state of our nation?
I'm past patiently waitin'. I'm passionately
Smashin' every expectation
Every action's an act of creation!
I'm laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow
For the first time, I'm thinkin' past tomorrow.
And I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot[Singing]
Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait...

[Singing]
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
I'm keeping her bed warm while her husband is away
He's on the British side in Georgia
He's trying to keep the colonies in line
But he can keep all of Georgia
Theodosia, she's mine
Love doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep loving anyway
We laugh and we cry
And we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there's a reason I'm by her side
When so many have tried
Then I'm willing to wait for it
I'm willing to wait for it[Rapping]
1789
How does the bastard orphan
Immigrant decorated war vet
Unite the colonies through more debt?
Fight the other founding fathers 'til he has to forfeit?
Have it all, lose it all
You ready for more yet?
Treasury Secretary. Washington's the President
Every American experiment sets a precedent
Not so fast. Someone came along to resist him
Pissed him off until we had a two-party system
You haven't met him yet, you haven't had the chance
'Cause he's been kickin' ass as the ambassador to France
But someone's gotta keep the American promise
You simply must meet Thomas. Thomas!
(You must be able to do a good Rarity impression)
I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find
Anyone as trusting or as kind
If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned
He'd be mine
She would say, "I'm fine."
She'd be lying
But when I fantasize at night
It's Alexander's eyes
As I romanticize what might
Have been if I hadn't sized
Him up so quickly
At least my dear Eliza's his wife;
At least I keep his eyes in my life…
(You must be able to do a good Starlight impression)
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room
Then you walked in and my heart went "Boom!"
Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grab my sister and whisper, "Yo, this one's mine"
My sister made her way across the room to you
And I got nervous, thinking, "What's she gonna do?"
She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin' "I'm through"
Then you look back at me, and suddenly I'm...
Helpless!
Oh, look at those eyes (Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit)
Oh! Yeah, I'm helpless, I know
(Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em)
(I'm helpless!)
I'm so into you, I am so into you
(Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit)
(I'm helpless!)
I know I'm down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em

(Peggy)
Daddy said to be home by sundown
Daddy said not to go downtown(Maria)
I know you are a man of honor
I'm so sorry to bother you at home
But I don't know where to go, and I came here all alone…
My husband's doin' me wrong
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me...
Suddenly he's up and gone
I don't have the means to go on

(Laurens, Rapping)
Show time! Show time! Yo!
I'm John Laurens in the place to be!
A two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh!
Those redcoats don't want it with me!
'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops 'til I'm free!(Laurens, Singing)
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you
Raise a glass to the four of us
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
Telling the story of tonight(Philip, Rapping)
Pops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to
I came to ask you for advice
This is my very first duel
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school
(You must be able to do a good Pinkie Pie impression)
(Jefferson, Singing)
France is following us to revolution
There is no more status quo
But the sun comes up
And the world still spins
I helped Lafayette draft a declaration
Then I said, "I gotta go
I gotta be in Monticello."
Now the work at home begins…
So what did I miss?
What did I miss?
Hmm
Virginia, my home sweet home, I wanna give you a kiss
Muah
I've been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies...
I guess I basically missed the late eighties...
I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this…(Jefferson, Rapping)
"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
We fought for these ideals; we shouldn't settle for less
These are wise words, enterprising men quote 'em
Don't act surprised, you guys, 'cause I wrote 'emOww
But Hamilton forgets
His plan would have the government assume state's debts
Now, place your bets as to who that benefits:
The very seat of government where Hamilton sits
Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it
If New York's in debt—
Why should Virginia bear it? Uh! 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
And 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 whisky(Lafayette, Rapping)
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, Rapping)
Brrrah brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said, "Come again?"
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets…(Madison, Singing)
Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation's very soul
Can you get us out of the mess we're in?
Hamilton's new financial plan is nothing less
Than government control
I've been fighting for the South alone
Where have you been?

(Rapping)
We are outgunned
Outmanned
Outnumbered
Outplanned
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man
Check it
Can I be real a second?
For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?
Now I'm the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal
Writin' letters to relatives
Embellishin' my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go…
Boom!
Any hope of success is fleeting
How can I keep leading when the people I'm
Leading keep retreating?
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn
Knight takes rook, but look
We are outgunned
Outmanned
Outnumbered
Outplanned
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man(Singing)
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no control
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
I know that we can win
I know that greatness lies in you
But remember from here on in
History has its eyes on you
(You must be able to do a good Celestia impression)
You say
The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay
You cry
In your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
Why so sad?
Remember we made an arrangement when you went away
Now you're making me mad
Remember, despite our estrangement, I'm your man
You'll be back, soon you'll see
You'll remember you belong to me
You'll be back, time will tell
You'll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da ya da!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da dat dat da…

Washington cannot be left alone to his devices
Indecisive, from crisis to crisis
The best thing he can do for the revolution
Is turn n' go back to plantin' tobacco in Mount Vernon
(You must be able to do a good Discord impression)
Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck
You see, that was my wife who you decided toUh-oh! You made the wrong sucker a cuckold
So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled
And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife
If the price is right: if not I'm telling your wife
(You must be able to do a good Snips impression)
Hear ye, hear ye! My name is Samuel Seabury
And I present "Free Thoughts on the Proceedings of the Continental Congress!"
Heed not the rabble who scream revolution
They have not your interests at heart
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don't let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me
They're playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame…
(You must be able to do a good Diamond Tiara impression)
I didn't say anything that wasn't true
Your father's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are youYeah, I don't fool around
I'm not your little schoolboy friendsI know where to find you, piss off
I'm watchin' this show now
