Guns and Ships
 作词 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
 作曲 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower/
Somehow defeat a global superpower?/
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?/
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross' flag higher?/
Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon!/
An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in!/
He's constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen/
Ev'ryone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman!/
Lafayette!/
I'm takin this horse by the reins makin'/
Redcoats redder with bloodstains/
Lafayette!/
And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em/
Drop and burn 'em up and scatter their remains, I'm/
Lafayette!/
Watch me engagin' em! Escapin' em!/
Enragin' em! I'm-/
Lafayette!/
I go to France for more funds/
Lafayette!/
I come back with more/
Guns/
And ships/
And so the balance shifts/
We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts/
We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but/
For this to succeed, there is someone else we need:/
I know/
Hamilton!/
Sir, he knows what to do in a trench/
Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean-/
Hamilton!/
Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually/
What's he gonna do on the bench? I mean-/
Hamilton!/
No one has more resilience/
Or matches my practical tactical brilliance-/
Hamilton!/
You wanna fight for your land back?/
I need my right hand man back!/
Ah! Uh, get ya right hand man back/
You know you gotta get ya right hand man back/
I mean you gotta put some thought into the letter but the sooner the better/
To get your right hand man back!/
Alexander Hamilton/
Troops are waiting in the field for you/
If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide/
Oh, Alexander Hamilton/
I have soldiers that will yield for you/
If we manage to get this right/
They'll surrender by early light/
The world will never be the same, Alexander…/
