Leslie Odom Jr - Your Obedient Servant (Off-Broadway) lyrics

[BURR] How does an arrogant Insolent, immigrant, orphan ba*tard, who*eson Somehow endorse An aristocratic southern adversary Impossibly connected And keep me from being elected? I wanna be in the room where it happens— [BURR AND COMPANY] The room where it happens The room where it happens [BURR] You've kept me from— [BURR AND COMPANY] The room where it happens [BURR] For the last time Dear Alexander: I submit for your immediate perusal A letter from a Dr Charles Cooper Who was kind enough to give me his approval To reprint a letter that he sent in confidence He claims that on numerous occasions You have called me "a dangerous man" Furthermore I "ought not be trusted with the reins of government" Obviously such an accusation must be met with either an immediate acknowledgement or disavowel Now! Are you capable of such a thing? I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant A dot Burr [HAMILTON] Dear Mr Burr I reflected on the letter I received from you On the afternoon of June 18th And I'm afraid that I cannot provide you With the kind of answer that you're looking for The phrase "numerous occasions" It plays factual situations Conveys infinite shades It's way too vague a phrase to pin to serious allegations [BURR] What? [HAMILTON] Listen now; how am I to disavow Something so unspecific "Dangerous with the reigns of government", wow Surely I said something less ban*l Be realistic now I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant A dot Ham [BURR] Careful how you proceed, young man Intemperate indeed, young man Answer for the accusations I lay at your feet or Prepare to bleed, young man [HAMILTON] No. You know what? I don't like your tone Lay it at my feet, I'll kick it down the road Sorry if your life is difficult without your wife You'll have to be more specific though [BURR] How's this for specific, Alexander? Weehawken. Dawn Guns. Drawn [HAMILTON] You're on [BURR AND HAMILTON] I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant [HAMILTON] A dot Ham [BURR] A dot Burr
