《汉密尔顿》韵脚系列之Aaron Burr, Sir

[COMPANY]

1776

New York City


[HAMILTON]

Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?


[BURR]

That depends, who’s asking?


[HAMILTON]

Oh well sure, sir

I’m Alexander Hamilton

I’m at your service, sir

I have been looking for you


[BURR]

I’m getting nervous


[HAMILTON]

Sir, I heard your name at Princeton

I was seeking an accelerated course of study

When I got sort out of sorts with a buddy of yours

I may have punched him

It’s a blur, sir

He handles the financials—


[BURR]

You punched the bursar?


[HAMILTON]

Yes, I wanted to do what you did

Graduate in two, then join the revolution

He looked at me like I was stupid

I’m not stupid

So how’d you do it?

How’d you graduate so fast?


[BURR]

It was my parents’ dying wish before they passed


[HAMILTON]

You’re an orphan

Of course, I’m an orphan

God, I wish there was a war!

Then we could prove that we’re worth more

Than anyone bargained for


[BURR]

Can I buy you a drink?


[HAMILTON]

That would be nice


[BURR]

While we’re talking, let me offer you some free advice

Talk less


[HAMILTON]

What?


[BURR]

Smile more


[HAMILTON]

Ha


[BURR]

Don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for


[HAMILTON]

You can’t be serious


[BURR]

You want to get ahead?


[HAMILTON]

Yes


[BURR]

Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead


[LAURENS]

Yo yo yo yo yo! What time is it?


[LAURENS, MULLIGAN]

Showtime!


[BURR]

…like I said…


[LAURENS]

Showtime! Showtime! Yo!

I’m John Laurens in the place to be!

Uh, two pints o’ Sam Adams, but I’m working on three, uh!

Those redcoats don’t want it with me

Cause I will pop chick-a-pop these cops ’til I’m free!


[LAFAYETTE]

Ah oui oui, mon ami, je m’appelle Lafayette!

The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!

I came from afar just to say “Bonsoir!”

Tell the king, “Casse-toi!” Who’s the best? C’est moi!


[MULLIGAN]

Brrrah, brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan

Up in it, lovin’ it

Yes I heard your mother say “come again?”


[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE]

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


[MULLIGAN]

Lock up your daughters and horses, of course

It’s hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets


【“Moses supposes his toeses are roses”——这个太聪明】


[LAFAYETTE]

Wow


[LAURENS]

No more sex

Pour me another brew, son!

Let’s raise a couple more


[LAURENS, LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN]

To the revolution!


[LAURENS]

Well if it ain’t the prodigy of Princeton College


[MULLIGAN]

Aaron Burr


LAURENS:

Give us a verse, drop some knowledge


[BURR]

Good luck with that

You’re takin’ a stand

You spit, I’mma sit

We’ll see where we land


【漂亮!连着两个ABBA式的Enclosed Rhyme】


[LAFAYETTE, MULLIGAN]

Booooo/Ohhhhhh


[LAURENS]

Burr, the revolution’s imminent

What do you stall for?


[HAMILTON]

If you stand for nothing, Burr, what’ll you fall for?


[LAURENS, MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE]

Oooh


[LAURENS]

Who are you?


[MULLIGAN]

Who are you?


[LAFAYETTE]

Who are you?


[LAURENS, MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE]

Who, who is this kid? What’s he gonna do?
