Hamilton - An American Musical
agoldenwhale for Thomas Jefferson
Another Founding Father, who returns from France at the beginning of Act II.
So what’d I miss?
What’d I miss?
Virginia, my home sweet home,I wanna give you a kiss
I’ve been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies...
I guess I basic’lly missed the late eighties...
I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this…
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 cuz we got it made in the shadeIn 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
It must be nice, it must be nice to have
Washington on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice to have
Washington on your sideLook back at the Bill of Rights
The ink hasn’t dried
It must be nice, it must be nice to have
Washington on your side
