Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to dayI trust you'll understand the reference to
Another Scottish tragedy without my having
To name the playThey think me, Macbeth
And ambition is my folly
I'm a polymath, a pain in the ass
A massive painMadison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to DunsinaneAnd there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion awayTake a break
I am on my way
There's a little surprise before supper
And it cannot waitI'll be there in just a minute, save my plate
Alexander!
Okay, okay!
Your son is nine years old today
And he has something that he'd like to say
He's been practicing all day
Philip, take it awayDaddy, daddy, look
My name is Philip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just to show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes, but you can't write mine
What?!I practice French and play piano with my mother
I have a sister, but I want a little brother (okay!)
My daddy's trying to start America's bank
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq (bravo!)Take a break
Hey, our kid is pretty great
Run away with us for the summer, let's go upstate
Eliza, I've got so much on my plate
We can all go stay with my fatherThere's a lake I know (I know)
In a nearby park (I'd love to go)
You and I can go
When the night gets dark
I will try to get awayMy dearest Alexander
You must get through to Jefferson
Sit down with him and compromise
Don't stop 'til you agreeYour favorite older sister
Angelica, reminds you
There's someone in your corner
All the way across the seaIn a letter I received from you two weeks ago, I
Noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning
Did you intend this?
One stroke and you've consumed my waking days
It saysMy dearest Angelica
With a comma after dearest
You've written: My dearest, AngelicaAnyway, all this to say
I'm coming home this summer
At my sister's invitation
I'll be there with your family
If you make your way upstateI know you're very busy
I know your work's important
But I'm crossing the ocean and I just can't waitYou won't be an ocean away
You will only be a moment awayAlexander, come downstairs
Angelica's arriving today!Angelica!
Eliza!
The Schuyler sisters
Alexander
Hi
It's good to see your faceAngelica, tell this man
John Adams spends the summer with his family
Angelica, tell my wife
John Adams doesn't have a real job anywayYou're not joining us? Wait!
I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate
Alexander, I came all this way
She came all this way
All this wayTake a break!
You know I have to get my plan through Congress
Run away with us for the summer, let's go upstate
I lose my job if we don't get this plan through Congress
We can all go stay with our fatherThere's a lake I know (I know I'll miss your face)
In a nearby park (screw your courage to the sticking place)
You and I can go (Eliza's right)Take a break and get away (run away with us for the summer)
Let's go upstate (let's go upstate)
Where we can stay (we can all go stay with our father)
If you take your time (look around, look around)
At how lucky we are to be alive right now (you will make your mark)
Close your eyes and dream (we can go)
When the night gets dark
Take a breakI have to get my plan through Congress
I can't stop 'til I get this plan through Congress
