BURR:
Theres nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slumming it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common
Just to watch em talk
Take Philip Schuyler, the man is loaded
Uh oh, but little does he know that
His daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at

Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know its not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddys got money

You searchin for an urchin who can give you ideals?
