Karaoké The Election of 1800 Hamilton

Can we get back to politics

Please, yo

Every action has its equal opposite reaction

John Adams shat the bed

I love the guy, but he's in traction

Poor Alexander Hamilton he is missing in action

So now I'm facing

Aaron Burr with his own faction

He's very attractive in the North

New Yorkers like his chances

He's not very forthcoming on any particular stances

Ask him a question

It glances off he obfuscates, he dances

And they say I'm a Francophile at least they know

I know where France is

Thomas, that's the problem see, they see Burr as a less extreme you

Ha, you need to change course a key endorsement might redeem you

Who did you have in mind

Don't laugh

Who is it

You used to work on the same staff

What

It might be nice it might be nice to get Hamilton on your side

It might be nice it might be nice to get Hamilton on your side

Talk less

Smile more

Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for

Shake hands with him

Charm her

It's eighteen hundred ladies

Tell your husbands, vote for Burr

I don't like Adams

Well, he's gonna lose that's just defeatist

And Jefferson

In love with France

Yeah, he's so elitist

I like that Aaron Burr

I can't believe we're here with him

He seems approachable

Like you could grab a beer with him

Dear Mister Hamilton

Your fellow Fed'ralists would like

Dear Mister Hamilton

Your fellow Fed'ralists would like to know how you'll be voting to know how you'll be voting

Dear Mister Hamilton

John Adams doesn't

Dear Mister Hamilton

John Adams doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting stand a chance, so who are you promoting

Jefferson or Burr

We know, it's lose-lose

Jefferson or Burr

We know, it's lose-lose

Jefferson or Burr

But if you had to choose

Jefferson or Burr

But if you had to choose

Jefferson or Burr

We know, it's lose-lose

Dear Mister Hamilton

John Adams doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting

Jefferson or Burr

But if you had to choose

But if you had to choose

Well, if it isn't Aaron Burr, sir

Alexander

You've created quite a stir, sir

I'm going door to door

You're openly campaigning

Sure

That's new

Honestly, it's kind of draining

Burr, Sir

Is there anything you wouldn't do

No, I'm chasing what I want and you know what

What

I learned that from you

It's a tie

It's up to the delegates

It's up to Hamilton

Yo

The people are asking to hear my voice

But the country is facing a difficult choice

And if you were to ask me who I'd promote

Jefferson has my vote

Oh, I have never agreed with Jefferson once

Oh, we have fought on like seventy-five different fronts

Oh, but when all is said and all is done

Jefferson has beliefs

Burr has none

Well, I'll be damned

Well, I'll be damned

Hamilton's on your side

Well, I'll be damned

Well, I'll be damned

Well, I'll be damned

Well, I'll be damned

And you won in a landslide

Congrats on a race well-run

I did give you a fight

Uh-huh

I look forward to our partnership

Our partnership as your vice president

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, yeah, right

You hear this guy

Man openly campaigns against me

Talking 'bout, I look forward to our partnership

It is crazy that the guy who comes in the second gets to be Vice President

Oh, you know what we can change that

You know why

Why

'Cos I'm the president

Burr when you see Hamilton
