Karaoké One Last Time Hamilton

Mister President

You asked to see me?

I know you're busy

What do you need Sir?

Sir?

I wanna give you a word of warning

Sir

I don't know what you heard but whatever it is

Jefferson started it

Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning

You're kidding

I need a favor

Whatever you say, Sir

Jefferson will pay for his behavior

Shh talk less

I'll use the press

I'll write under a pseudonym you'll see what I can do to him

I need you to draft an address

Yes, he resigned

You can finally speak your mind

No, he's stepping down so he can run for president

Ah, good luck defeating you Sir

I'm stepping down

I'm not running for president

I'm sorry what?

One last time

Relax have a drink with me

One last time

Let's take a break tonight and then we'll teach them how to say goodbye

To say goodbye you and I

No, Sir, why?

Sir, with Britain and France

I wanna talk about neutrality on the verge of war

Is this the best time?

I want to warn against partisan fighting but

Pick up a pen start writing

I wanna talk about what I have learned the hard-won wisdom

I have earned

As far as the people are concerned you have to serve

You could continue to serve

No, one last time the people will hear from me

One last time

And if we get this right we're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye

You and I

Mister President they will say you're weak

No, they will see we're strong

Your position is so unique

So I'll use it to move them along

Why do you have to say goodbye?

If I say goodbye

The nation learns to move on

It outlives me when I'm gone

Like the scripture says

Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one shall

Make them afraid

They'll be safe in the nation we've made

I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree a moment alone

In the shade at home in this nation we've made

One last time

One last time

Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration

I am unconscious

Of intentional error

I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects

Not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors

I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will view them with indulgence

And that after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service

With an upright zeal the faults of incompetent abilities

Will be consigned to oblivion as I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest

I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself

To realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking in the midst of my fellow-citizens

The benign influence of good laws under a free government

The ever-favorite object of my heart and the happy reward as I trust

Of our mutual cares labors and dangers

One last time

Teach 'em how to say goodbye

You and I going home

History has its eyes on you you you yeah hey

We're gonna teach 'em

How to say goodbye teach 'em how to say goodbye to say goodbye

To say goodbye

One last time time
