Karaoké Ten Duel Commandments Hamilton

One two three four

Five six seven eight nine

It's the Ten Duel

Commandments

It's the Ten Duel

Commandments

The challenge

Demand satisfaction

If they apologize no need for further action

If they don't, grab a friend that's your second

Your lieutenant when there's reckoning to be reckoned

Have your seconds meet face to face

Negotiate a peace or negotiate a time and place

This is common-place specially 'tween recruits

Most disputes die and no one shoots

If they don't reach a peace that's alright

Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site

You pay him in advance

You treat him with civility

You have him turn around so he can have deniability

Duel before the sun is in the sky

Pick a place to die where it's high and dry

Leave a note for your next of kin

Tell 'em where you been

Pray that hell or heaven lets you in

Confess your sins

Ready for the moment of adrenaline

When you finally face your opponent

Your last chance to negotiate

Send in your seconds

See if they can set the record straight

Alexander

Aaron Burr sir

Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature

Sure

But your man has to answer for his words Burr

With his life

We both know that's absurd sir

Hang on

How many men died because Lee was inexperienced and ruinous

Okay so we're doin' this

Look 'em in the eye

Aim no higher

Summon all the courage you require then count

One two three four

Five six seven eight nine

Number ten paces
