[BURR]
There's nothin' rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slummin' 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—
[COMPANY]
Work, work
[ANGELICA]
Angelica

[BURR]
Woo
There's nothin' like summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money
Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels
You searchin' for an urchin who can give you ideals?
[ANGELICA]
Burr, you disgust me
[BURR]
Ah, so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me
[ANGELICA]
I've been readin' Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:
[SCHUYLER SISTERS]
We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal
[ANGELICA]
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson

Unh
