guns and ships

A song sung by Gilbert du Motier de Lafayette in Lin Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton (the best musical ever). It is considered very difficult to sing Lafayette's parts as he sings them very fast.

Broadway musical (2015)
Hamilton the Musical - Guns and Ships Lyrics

BURR:
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!

COMPANY:
Lafayette!

LAFAYETTE:
I’m takin this horse by the reins makin’
Redcoats redder with bloodstains

COMPANY:
Lafayette!

LAFAYETTE:
And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em
Drop and burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I’m

COMPANY:
Lafayette!

LAFAYETTE:
Watch me engagin’ em! Escapin’ em!
Enragin’ em! I’m—

COMPANY:
Lafayette!

LAFAYETTE:
I go to France for more funds

COMPANY:
Lafayette!

LAFAYETTE:
I come back with more

LAFAYETTE AND ENSEMBLE:
Guns
And ships

helpless

The way you feel when you meet Alexander Hamilton. Especially for Elizabeth Schuyler.

Eliza: Boy you got me helpless. Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit I'm helpless. (...) You walked in and my heart went boom. (...) Grab my sister and whisper "Yo this one's mine."
