letra de not even in the game - the churchill theater

[jefferson]
i could say i never wanted this
but that would be a lie
after all i’ve done for this country
i’ve earned my chance to be the guy who…
writes all the checks!
and enforces all the laws!
and in droves wherever he goes is met with thunderous applause
our future’s in my hands, and be quiet when i’m speaking
you’ll never mess with jefferson if a future’s what you’re seeking

an ensemble member whispers in jefferson’s ear

what’s that?

they whisper again

aaron burr!?
ha!
i laugh in your face!
why should i care about such a disgrace?
what could he ever do?
him and his face and his bumbling crew
please! oh, don’t even start!
his name is already falling apart
why do you say his name?
he’s not even in the game
[british foreign minister, spoken]
so, to recap, you’re asking for 100,000 pounds from the british government for an expedition that will sever the united states in two?

[dayton, spoken]
precisely

[british foreign minister, spoken]
and you’re the vice president of the united states?

[burr, spoken]
at your service

[british foreign minister]
i love you yanks! you’re so f-cking crazy!

[jefferson]
far as aaron burr’s concerned, i’ve already freaking won

[burr]
we’ll start with the spanish. i’ll tell you what-

[jefferson]
what is left for him to do that he’s not already done?

[burr]
and once that’s done, we’ll plan to rally the west to secede-
[jefferson]
the seed of the south
has been planted in the earth!
and for a white man with a house
it’s reaped ten times what it’s worth

[burr]
i have given this so much thought-

[jefferson]
so the thought of anything else, to be frank, it doesn’t thrill me
let my vp try to sweep me. what’s he gonna do k!ll me?

[wilkinson, spoken]
all else fails, we could just storm the capital and chop jefferson’s head off

[spanish foreign minister, spoken]
ooo! s-xy!

[jefferson]
ha!
i’ll say it again!
who gives a d-mn to the veep with no friends?
i will savor the time!
don’t give a d-mn and i won’t give a dime
there! so, try as he might
i couldn’t muster as much as a fright!
plus, that cravat his lame. he’s not even in the game!
[burr]
i know what i’m asking you is not an easy sell
but place your bets in me, and your returns, they’ll do you well

[burr & jefferson]
– i know what i’m asking you-
(what could he ever do? him and his face and his bumbling crew!)
is quite a lot to claim
(i’m a man of the people. i promise i treat every slave as my equal!)

but place your bets in me and see-
(burr can bicker and wail! that b-tch is lucky he isn’t in jail!) history will know my name!
(history will know my name!)

[jefferson]
he’s not even in the game. the game!!!!!
