The Hamilton Polka - Weird Al

Hamiltโฆ haaammmmillltooonnnnโฆ
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 working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By 14, they placed him in charge of the trading charter
Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And thereโs a million things I havenโt done
But just you wait, just you wait
Wait for it x4
I am the one thing in life I can control!!!
Wait for it x4
I am inimitable
I am an original
And if thereโs a reason Iโm still alive
When so many have died
Then Iโm willinโ to-
Iโm willing to
Work, work!
Angelica!
Work, work!
Eliza!
And Peggyโ
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 x4
Yeah youโll 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 da!
No one else was in
The room where it happened x3
No one else was in
The room where it happened x3
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 (What?)
Outmanned (What?)
Outnumbered
Outplanned
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, Iโm gonna need a right-hand man
Hamilton!
Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I meanโ
Hamilton!
Sir, youโre gonna have to use him eventually
Whatโs he gonna do on the bench? I meanโ
Hamilton!
No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical tactical brillianceโ
Hamilton!
You wanna fight for your land back?
Hamilton!
I need my right hand man back!
Uh, get ya right hand man back
You know you gotta get ya 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 (Which I wrote!)
The ink hasnโt dried
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your sideโ
Somebody has to stand up for the South!
Somebody has to stand up to his mouth!
If thereโs a fire youโre trying to douse
You canโt put it out from inside the house
Iโm in the cabinet, I am complicit in
Watching him grabbinโ at power and kiss it
If Washington isnโt gonโ 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 youโre running out of time?
Write day and night like youโre running out of time?
Evโry day you fight like youโre running out of time
Like youโre running out of time
Are you running out of time?
Let me tell you what I wish Iโd 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 (Whoaโฆ)
And I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, Iโm just like my country
Iโm young, scrappy and hungry
And Iโm not throwing away my shot
We gonna rise up, time to take a shot (Not throwing away my shot) x2
Weโre gonna rise up, rise up! (Itโs time to take a shot!)
Rise up, rise up!
And I am not throwing away my
Not throwing away my shot
Thereโs a million things I havenโt done
But just you wait (Just wait)
Whatโs your name, man?
