Everyone was curious to know what was next, since Adi promised they would enjoy it.

COMPANY]
British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor

" that was a hard time..." Alex said solemnly. The ones that had fought in the war nodded in agreement.

[ENSEMBLE 1 & ENSEMBLE 2]
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
When they surround our troops!
They surround our troops!
They surround our troops!
They surround our troops!
When they surround our troops!

" if you guys were up against such a big army, how did you guys even win?"

" shut up Mr. I-left-the-moment-a-war-was-declared."

"He has a point though. Literally all America had going for us was that we had good planning. And George Washington. That was it."

That comment made George blush and Martha giggled and rubbed his arm lovingly.

[HAMILTON]
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war
I knew that I was poor
I knew it was the only way to—

[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]
Rise up!

"Was it really?"  Washington groaned.

[HAMILTON]
If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or—

[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]
Rise up!

"Yes." Alexander said in response to James Madison's passive aggressive remark.

[HAMILTON]
I will fight for this land
But there's only one man
Who can give us a command so we can—

[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]
Rise up!

" oh no, I see where this is going."

[HAMILTON]
Understand? It's the only way to—

[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]
Rise up! Rise up!

[HAMILTON]
Here he comes!

George Washington groaned. He remembered how all the soldiers acted whenever he entered camp.

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!

[BURR]
Ladies and gentlemen!

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!

[BURR]
The moment you've been waiting for!

"Burr of all people being Washingtons hype man. Pfttttt that's funny for so many reasons, you'll understand later."

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!

[BURR]
The pride of Mount Vernon!

[ENSEMBLE]
Here comes the General!

[BURR]
George Washington!

[WASHINGTON & ENSEMBLE]
We are outgunned (What?)
Outmanned (What?)
Outnumbered
Outplanned (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
We gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man
(Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
