Karaoké The Hamilton Polka Weird Al Yankovic

How does a bastard, orphan

Son of a whore and a Scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot

In the Caribbean by providence impoverished, in squalor

Grow up to be a hero and a scholar

The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father got a lot farther by workin' a lot harder

By bein' a lot smarter

By bein' a self-starter

By fourteen they placed him in charge of the trading charter

Alexander Hamilton

My name is Alexander Hamilton

And there's a million things

I haven't done

But just you wait

Just you wait

Wait for it

I am the one thing in life

I can control

I am inimitable

I am an original

And if there's a reason

I'm still alive when so many have died then I'm willin' to

I'm willin' to work, work

Angelica

Work, work

Eliza and Peggy

Look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now

History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be

In the greatest city

In the greatest city in the world

The world turned upside down

The world turned upside down

The world turned upside down

The world turned upside down

Do-down, down, down

Hey

And you'll blow us all away

Oceans rise

Empires fall

We have seen each other through it all

And when push comes to shove

I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love

Da da da dat da

Dat da da da da ya da

Da da dat dat da da ya dow

Cha

Uh no one else was in the room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one else was in the room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one really knows how the game is played

The art of the trade

How the sausage gets made

We just assume that it happens but no one else is in the room where it happens

We are outgunned

Outmanned

Outnumbered, outplanned

We gotta make an all out stand

And yo I'm gonna need a right hand man

Hamilton

Sir he knows what to do in a trench

Ingenuitive and fluent in French I mean

Hamilton

Sir you're gonna have to use him eventually

What's he gonna do on the bench I mean

Hamilton

No one has more resilience or matches my practical tactical brilliance

Hamilton

You wanna fight for your land back

Hamilton

I need my right hand man back

Uh

Get your right hand man back

You know you gotta get your right hand man back

I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter but the sooner the better to get your right hand man back

It must be nice

It must be nice to have Washington on your side

It must be nice

It must be nice to have Washington on your side

Look back at the Bill of Rights

The ink hasn't dried

It must be nice

It must be nice to have Washington on your side

Somebody has to stand up for the South

Somebody has to stand up to his mouth

If there's a fire you're tryin' to douse you can't put it out from inside the house

I'm in the cabinet

I am complicit in watching him grabbing at power and kiss it

If Washington isn't gon' listen to disciplined dissidents

This is the difference

This kid is out

In New York you can be a new man

How do you write like you're running out of time

Write day and night like you're running out of time

Every day you fight like you're running out of time

Like you're running out of time

Are you running out of time

Let me tell you what

I wish I'd known when I was young and dreamed of glory

You have no control

Who lives, who dies

Who tells your story

I know that we can win

I know that greatness lies in you

But remember from here on in

History has its eyes on you

And I am not throwing away my shot

I am not throwing away my shot

Hey yo I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy and hungry and I'm not throwing away my shot

We gonna rise up

Time to take a shot

We gonna rise up

Time to take a shot

We're gonna rise up

Rise up

Rise up, rise up

And I am not throwing away my

Not throwing away my shot

There's a million things

I haven't done but just you wait

Alexander
