Ladies Transition Lyrics

[BURR]
How does the bastard, orphan, son of a whore
Go on and on
Grow into more of a phenomenon?
Watch this obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth bother

But Hamilton still wants to fight, not write
Now Hamilton’s skill with a quill is undeniable
But what do we have in common?

[ALL MEN]
Ladies!

[BURR]
There are so many to deflower!

[ALL MEN]
Ladies!

[BURR]
Looks! Proximity to power

[ALL MEN]
Ladies!
[BURR]
Well they delighted and distracted him
Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him!

[HAMILTON]
That’s true!

[FULL COMPANY]
1780

[BURR]
A winter’s ball
And the Schuyler sisters are the envy of all
Yo, if you can marry a sister, you’re rich, son

[HAMILTON]
Is it a question of if, Burr, or which one?

[HAMILTON/BURR/LAURENS]
Hey
Hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
