Hamilton: An American Musical GENDERBENT Lyrics

Right Hand Woman

British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water

32,000 troops in New York Harbor

32,000 troops in New York Harbor

When they surround our troops! They surround our— when the surround our troops!

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

Rise up!

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

Rise up!

I will fight for this land, but there's only one woman who can give us the command so we can

Rise up!

Understand? It's the only way to

Rise up! Rise up!

Here she comes...

Here comes the general!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Here comes the general!

The moment you've been waiting for!

Here comes the general!

The pride of Mt. Vernon!

Here comes the general!

Georgia Washington!

We are outgunned! - (What?)

Outmanned! - (What?)

Outnumbered outplanned! - (Buck buck buck buck buck)

We gotta make an all-out stand! Hey, yo I'm gonna need a right hand woman! - (Buck buck buck buck buck)

Check it

Can I be real a second? For just a millisecond? Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second? Now I'm the model of a modern major-general, the venerated Virginian veteran who's girls are all linin' up to put me up on a pedestal! Writin' letters to reletives, embellishin' my elegance and equolence, but the elephant is in the room, the truth is in ya face when you hear the British cannons go

"Boom!"

Any hope of success is fleeting. How can I keep leading when the people I'm leading keep retreating? We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn. Knight takes rook, but look!

We are outgunned! - (What?)

Outmanned! - (What?)

Outnumbered outplanned! - (Buck buck buck buck buck)

We gotta make an all-out stand! Hey, yo I'm gonna need a right hand woman! - (Buck buck buck buck buck)

Incoming!

They're batterin' down the battery, check the damages!

Rah!

We gotta stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages!

Rah!

Let's take a stand with the stamina God has granted us! Hamilton won't abandon ship... yo, let's steal their cannons!

Shaboom!

Goes the cannon watch the blood and the shit spray,
