Karaoké What'd I Miss Hamilton

Seventeen

Se- se- seventeen

Se- se- seventeen

Seventeen eighty-nine how does the bastard orphan

Immigrant decorated war vet unite the colonies through more debt?

Fight the other founding fathers 'till he has to forfeit?

Have it all lose it all you ready for more yet?

Treasury secretary

Washington's the president

Every American experiment sets a precedent

Not so fast someone came along to resist him

Pissed him off until we had a two-party system

You haven't met him yet you haven't had the chance

'Cos he's been kickin' ass as the ambassador to France

But someone's gotta keep the American promise

You simply must meet Thomas Thomas

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Lord he's been off in Paris for so long

Ah ooh

Ah ooh

France is following us to revolution

There is no more status quo but the sun comes up

And the world still spins

I helped Lafayette

Ah ooh draft a declaration

Then I said I gotta go

I gotta be in Monticello

And now the work at home begins

Ah ooh

So what did I miss?

What did I miss?

Mmm, Virginia my home sweet home

I wanna give you a kiss, mwah mmm mmm

I've been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies

I guess I basically missed the late eighties

I traveled the wide wide world and came back to this

Ah ooh

There's a letter on my desk from the president

Haven't even put my bags down yet

Sally be a lamb darlin' won't ya open it?

It says the president's assembling a cabinet

And that I am to be the secretary of State, great

And that I'm already Senate-approved

I just got home and now

I'm headed up to New York

Headin' to New York

Headin' to New York

Lookin' at the rolling fields

I can't believe that we are free

Ready to face whatever's awaiting me in NYC

But who's waitin' for me when

I step in the place?

My friend James Madison red in the face

He grabs my arm and

I respond what's goin' on?

Ah ooh

Thomas we are engaged in a battle for our nation's very soul

Can you get us out of the mess we're in?

Ah ooh

Hamilton's new financial plan is nothing less

Than government control

I've been fighting for the South alone

Where have you been?

Huh

France?

Ah ooh

We have to win

What did I miss?

What what what did I miss?

What did I miss?

Headfirst into a political abyss

I've come home to this?

Headfirst into the abyss

I have my first cabinet meeting today

I guess I better think of something to say

I'm already on my way let's get to the bottom of this

What did I miss?

Ah ah

Mister Jefferson welcome home

Mister Jefferson?

Alexander Hamilton

Mister Jefferson welcome home

Mister Jefferson welcome home

Sir you've been off in Paris for so long

So what did I miss?
