The Election of 1800
Letras
(The election of 1800)
Can we get back to politics?
Please?
Yo
Ev'ry action has its equal, opposite reaction
John Adams shat the bed, I love the guy, but he's in traction
Poor Alexander Hamilton, he is missing in action
So now I'm facing
Aaron Burr
With his own faction
He's very attractive in the North, New Yorkers like his chances
He's not very forthcoming on any particular stances
Ask him a question, it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances
And they say I'm a Francophile, at least they know I know where France is!
Thomas that's the problem, see, they see Burr as a less extreme you (ha!)
You need to change course, a key endorsement might redeem you
Who did you have in mind?
Don't laugh
Who is it?
You used to work on the same staff
What?
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side
Talk less (Burr!)
Smile more (Burr!)
Don't let 'em know what you're against or what you're for (Burr!)
Shake hands with him (Burr!)
Charm her (Burr!)
It's 1800, ladies, tell your husbands
Vote for Burr (Burr!)
I don't like Adams
Well, he's gonna lose, that's just defeatist
And Jefferson?
In love with France!
Yeah, he's so elitist!
I like that Aaron Burr!
I can't believe we're here with him!
He seems approachable
Like you could grab a beer with him!
Dear Mr. Hamilton
Your fellow Fed'ralists would like to know how you'll be voting
(It's quiet uptown)
Dear Mr. Hamilton
John Adams doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting?
(It's quiet uptown)
Jefferson or Burr? (Jefferson or Burr)
We know it's lose-lose
Jefferson or Burr? (Jefferson or Burr)
But if you had to choose
Dear Mr. Hamilton
John Adams doesn't stand a chance, so who are you promoting?
But if you had to choose
