I only own Georgia
Right hand man intro (cut song)
"Why has the moving portrait gone black?" Washington wondered.
"It might be a cut song," Georgia responded
[HAMILTON]
Now I can write a revolutionary screed until my fingers bleed
But action's gonna bring us what we need
The soldiers in the room all nodded
[ENSEMBLE]
Yes indeed
[HAMILTON]
Tonight we plant a revolutionary seed
And watch it twist and weave and grow
Until we choke out every weed
"Highly offended at being called a weed!" joked Freddie
[ENSEMBLE]
Yes indeed
[HAMILTON]
Let's grab those cannons with our legendary speed
"You didn't!" Eliza gasped
"We did" Mulligan grinned
Keep in step with me, the leader of this gang, are we agreed?
[ENSEMBLE]
Yes indeed
[HAMILTON]
Stick with me
[ENSEMBLE]
Yes indeed
[HAMILTON]
Til we're free
[ENSEMBLE]
Yes indeed
"That's getting old" Maria groaned
[HAMILTON]
Say goodbye to the life you used to lead
[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!
[BURR]
Ladies and gentlemen!
[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!
[BURR]
The moment you've been waiting for!
"This happens three times so get used to it Your Excellency. And besides I doubt they are going to not use it whenever you walk into a room." Georgia jerked her head at the Revolutionary set, grinning
Washington groaned
[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!
[BURR]
The pride of Mount Vernon!
[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!
[BURR]
George Washington!
[WASHINGTON]
We are outgunned
[ENSEMBLE]
What
[WASHINGTON]
Outmanned
[ENSEMBLE]
What
[WASHINGTON]
Outnumbered, outplanned
"We were" Washington sighed
[ENSEMBLE]
Buck buck buck buck buck
[WASHINGTON]
We gotta make an all out stand
Hey yo, I'm gonna need a right hand man
[ENSEMBLE]
Buck buck buck buck buck
[WASHINGTON]
Can I be real a second? For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel second?
Now I'm the model of the modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Georgia snorted
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…
[ENSEMBLE]
Boom!
[WASHINGTON]
Every 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
[ENSEMBLE]
What
[WASHINGTON]
Outmanned
[ENSEMBLE]
What
[WASHINGTON]
Outnumbered, outplanned
[ENSEMBLE]
Buck buck buck buck buck
[WASHINGTON]
We gotta make an all out stand
Hey yo, I'm gonna need a right hand man
[COMPANY]
British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
[ENSEMBLE 1]
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
When they surround our troops!
They surround our troops!
When they surround our troops!
[ENSEMBLE 2]
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
They surround our troops!
They surround our troops!
[HAMILTON]
They gonna slaughter us? No
Let's be the regiment that gets it in and spreads them thin
[ENSEMBLE]
What
[HAMILTON]
Those unpredictable f*ckers who gave their heads a spin
[ENSEMBLE]
What
[HAMILTON]
Who says I can't lead?
"Me" Washington answered
"Yes, then!"
[ENSEMBLE]
What
[HAMILTON]
Who says I can't inspire?
"Me" Maria answered
[ENSEMBLE]
What
[HAMILTON]
Let's bring our cannons back, we're facing heavy cannon fire
The British fleet advances, morale slips
Taking chances, ma-a-a-n I ain't scared of ships
Spread the word, when the commander says retreat
I'm the last man standing in the street
Blast the heat
[ENSEMBLE]
Boom!
[WASHINGTON]
Goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray
"Lovely!" muttered the king and Georgia sarcastically
[ENSEMBLE]
Boom!
[WASHINGTON]
Goes the cannon, we're abandoning Kips Bay
[COMPANY]
Boom!
[WASHINGTON]
There's another ship and…
[COMPANY]
Boom!
[WASHINGTON]
We just lost the southern tip and…
[COMPANY]
Boom!
[WASHINGTON]
We gotta get to Harlem quick, we can't afford another slip
Guns and horses giddyup
Georgia huffed a laugh
I decide to divvy up
My forces, they're skittish as the British cut the city up
This close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny
I scream in the face of this mass mutiny:
Are these the men with which I am to defend America?
We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance
I cannot be everywhere at once, people
I'm in dire need of assistance…
[BURR]
Your excellency, sir!
[WASHINGTON]
Who are you?
[BURR]
Aaron Burr, Sir?
Permission to state my case?
[WASHINGTON]
As you were
[BURR]
Sir
I was a captain under General Montgomery
Until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec
And well, in summary
I think that I could be of some assistance
I admire how you keep firing on the British
From a distance
[WASHINGTON]
Huh
[BURR]
I have some questions, a couple of suggestions on how to fight instead of fleeing west
[WASHINGTON]
Yes?
[BURR]
Well—
[HAMILTON]
Your excellency, you wanted to see me?
[WASHINGTON]
Hamilton, come in, have you met Burr?
[HAMILTON]
Yes, sir
[HAMILTON AND BURR]
We keep meeting
[BURR]
Well, sir, I guess I look forward to watching your strategy play out
[WASHINGTON]
Burr?
[BURR]
Sir?
[WASHINGTON]
Close the door on your way out
"That's disrespectful. You were in a tent." Georgia stated; Washington blinked at her, slightly ashamed
[HAMILTON]
Have I done something wrong, sir?
[WASHINGTON]
On the contrary
I called you here because our odds are beyond scary
Your reputation precedes you, but I have to laugh
[HAMILTON]
Sir?
[WASHINGTON]
Hamilton, how come no one can get you on their staff?
[HAMILTON]
Sir!
[WASHINGTON]
Don't get me wrong, you're a young man, of great renown
[HAMILTON]
Yes, we fought together in Trenton, I helped you take the town
[WASHINGTON]
Nathaniel Greene and Henry Knox wanted to hire you
[HAMILTON]
I came to be a soldier, not a secretary
[WASHINGTON]
Why're you upset?
[HAMILTON]
I'm not—
[WASHINGTON]
It's alright, you want to fight, you've got a hunger
I was just like you when I was younger
Head full of fantasies of dyin' like a martyr?
[HAMILTON]
Yes
[WASHINGTON]
Dying is easy, young man. Living is harder
[HAMILTON]
Why are you telling me this?
[WASHINGTON]
I'm being honest
I'm working with a third of what our Congress has promised
We are a powder keg about to explode
I need someone like you to lighten the load. So?
[COMPANY (EXCEPT HAMILTON)]
I am not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
Ayo, I'm just like my country, I'm young
Scrappy and hungry!
[HAMILTON everyone in the room(where it happens)]
I am not throwing away my shot!
[WASHINGTON]
Son
[WASHINGTON & COMPANY]
We are outgunned, outmanned!
[HAMILTON]
You need all the help you can get
I have some friends. Laurens, Mulligan
Marquis de Lafayette, okay, what else?
[WASHINGTON & COMPANY]
Outnumbered, outplanned!
[HAMILTON]
We need some spies on the inside
Some King's men who might let some things slide
[FULL COMPANY]
Boom!
[HAMILTON]
They got so many pieces on the chessboard
[FULL COMPANY]
Boom!
[HAMILTON]
They got cannons, we need to use our bayonets more
[FULL COMPANY]
Boom!
[HAMILTON]
And I'll do what I can
[FULL COMPANY]
Boom!
[HAMILTON]
To make you understand
[FULL COMPANY]
Boom!
[HAMILTON]
That one day I'm gonna have my own command
I'll be your right-hand man!
Right hand man
"The picture is back" Alex pointed out
"No sh*t Sherlock" Georgia responded

[Hamilton:]
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war
I knew that I was poor
I knew it was the only way to
[Hamilton/Burr/Mulligan/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Rise up!
[Hamilton:]
If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or
[Hamilton/Burr/Mulligan/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Rise up!
[Hamilton:]
I will fight for this land
But there's only one man
Who can give us a command so we can—
[Hamilton/Burr/Mulligan/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Rise up!
[Hamilton:]

Outnumbered
Outplanned (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
[Washington and Georgia:]
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

Incoming!
[Hamilton:]
They're battering down the Battery check the damages
[Mulligan:]
Rah!
[Hamilton:]
We gotta stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages
[Mulligan:]
Rah!
[Hamilton:]
Let's take a stand with the stamina God has granted us
Hamilton won't abandon ship
Yo, let's steal their cannons
"YES GO ALEX!" Peggy cheered
"I still cannot believe you did that" Eliza uttered
[Mulligan (Company):]
Shh-boom! (Boom!)
