[BURR]
After the war I went back to New York

[HAMILTON]
A-After the war I went back to New York

[BURR]
I finished up my studies and I practiced law

[HAMILTON]
I practiced law, Burr worked next door

"Oh I remember THAT" Burr groaned.

[BURR]
Even though we started at the very same time
Alexander Hamilton began to climb
How to account for his rise to the top?
Maaaaan, the man is

[BURR & ENSEMBLE]
Non-stop!

"Ain't that the truth." Several people mumbled.

[HAMILTON]
Gentlemen of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me
Are you aware that we're making hist'ry?
This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation
The liberty behind
Deliberation—

[ENSEMBLE]
Non-stop!

[HAMILTON]
I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
With my assistant counsel—

[BURR]
Co-counsel
Hamilton, sit down

"Yup sounds like Alex." Herc exclaimed.

Our client Levi Weeks is innocent. Call your first witness
That's all you had to say!

"Fun fact, this trial wasn't until 1801. It wasn't the first murder trail ever, but it was the first one the general public was interested in." Adi cut in.

[HAMILTON]
Okay!
One more thing—

"Pfttt they nailed Alex work ethic." Thomas chuckled.

[BURR]
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

"Because I am." Alex said defiantly.

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

"Are you sure about that?" Thomas taunted .

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

"Maybe the most well written, but even that's debatable." Adi teased.

Who's side are you on?!" Alex exclaimed.

Soon that attitude may be your doom!

"Um, Elizas? Duh!"

[ENSEMBLE]
Awwww!

"Wait, what?" Eliza perked up.

"What? I thought everyone was team Eliza?"

[BURR with ENSEMBLE]
Why do you write like you're running out of time?
Write day and night like you're running out of time?
Ev'ry day you fight, like you're running out of time
Keep on fighting. In the meantime—

[ENSEMBLE]
Non-stop!

[HAMILTON]
Corruption's such an old song that we can sing along in harmony
And nowhere is it stronger than in Albany
This colony's economy's increasingly stalling and
Honestly, that's why public service
Seems to be calling me
