[everyone]

[okieriete onadowan]
mama, hey, mama
look sharp

[leslie odom jr.]
no, not that 1776. the other one

[okieriete onadowan]
76 trombones

[leslie odom jr.]
no, the other, other one

[everyone]
seventeen
se-se-seventeen
se-se-seventeen what?

[leslie odom jr.]
1789
how does a bio-history musical
turn into a mystery
and then have everybody p-ssed?
we tried to follow details about every war vet
who is who, who does what. are you keepin’ score yet?
hamilton’s secretary, washington’s the president
he bundled up the story’s model
that one’s just a precedent
who’s in charge? who’s at large? do i have to list them?
here’s a twist they insist on a two-party system
no more lafayette, he went back to france
but jefferson kicks -ss with a cl-ssy little dance
but someone needs to be the next role we promised
here’s daveed diggs double cast as thomas!

[women (men)]
daveed diggs in another role (thomas jefferson now has soul)
daveed diggs has been double cast (it’s getting confusing fast.)

[everyone]
thomas jefferson’s comin’
now things get so complicated really fast

[daveed diggs]
if you’re following us it gets confusing
even when we’re status quo
but if you’re mixed up and your head still spins
i can fill you in with my declaration
and i’ll clarify this show
and i’ll keep it slow and mellow
till the dancer pod begins
so what did you miss?
what did you miss?
the lyrics go by so fast that you are in the abyss
i see you sittin’ there lookin’ befuddled
i guess my diction is sloppy and muddled
we’re tellin’ a complex plot so what did you miss?
let me clarify this!
there’s a lady who’s confused who’s a resident
and if hamilton has come on yet
honey, be a lamb, darling concentrate a bit

[lady]
what?

[daveed diggs]
don’t you follow? i’m the fellow in the cabinet
who’s gonna try to be the secretary of state. wait
the u.s capital’s gonna get moved
i won’t explain, explain, we’re cutting out of new york

[everyone]
cuttin’ out new york
cuttin’ out new york

[daveed diggs (everyone)]
lookin’ at the audience
i can’t (believe you follow me)
floatin’ in space the audience looks so
(blank in nyc)
but no one admits they can’t keep up with the pace

some old guy, reticent, red in the face
he grabs my arm and asks me

[man]
hey, vats going on?
vat did i miss?
vat did i miss?
i came in late cause i had to go to a bris
ven i returned i got lost in the proles
i must have nodded off and taken a doze
son, i really need your help to get to the bottom of this

[daveed diggs (man) {everyone}]
what did you miss?
(yes! vat did i miss?)
my rapping lyrics left new york critics cheering (huh?)
but they are awfully hard upon the hard of hearing
(huh? vat did i miss?) {checking the plot}
(vat did i miss?) {give us a lot}
{can you believe you paid $800 for this?}
{so what did you miss?}
