The election of 1800(Thomas Jefferson)Can we get back to politics?
Please?Yo, ev’ry action has an equal, opposite reaction
John Adams shat the bed. I love the guy, but he’s in traction
Poor Alexander Hamilton, he is missing in action
So now I’m facing
Aaron Burr!
With his own faction(Madison and Thomas Jefferson)He’s very attractive in the North
New Yorkers like his chancesHe’s not very forthcoming on any particular stancesAsk him a question: it glances off
He obfuscates, he dancesAnd they say I’m a Francophile!
At least they know I know where France isThomas that’s the problem, see
They see Burr as a less extreme you (Ha!)You need to change course
A key endorsement might redeem you(Who did you have in mind?)
Don’t laugh
(Who is it?)
You used to work on the same staff
(What?)It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your sideIt might be nice, it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side(Burr and Company)Talk less!
Smile more!
Don’t let ‘em know what you’re against or what you’re for!
Shake hands with him!
Charm her!
It’s eighteen hundred, ladies, tell your husbands: vote for
Burr!I don’t like Adams
Well, he’s gonna lose, that’s just defeatist
And Jefferson
In love with France!
Yeah, he’s so elitist!
I like that Aaron Burr!
I can’t believe we’re here with him!
He seems approachable?
Like you could grab a beer with him!(Hamilton and Company)Dear Mr. Hamilton: your fellow Fed’ralists
Would like to know how you’ll be voting
(It’s quiet uptown)Dear Mr. Hamilton: John Adams doesn’t stand a chance
So who are you promoting?
(It’s quiet uptown)Jefferson or Burr?
We know it’s lose-lose
Jefferson or Burr?
But if you had to chooseJefferson or Burr?
We know it’s lose-lose
Jefferson or Burr?
But if you had to chooseDear Mr. Hamilton:
John Adams doesn’t stand a chance, so who are you promoting?
But if you had to choose(Hamilton and Burr)Well, if it isn’t Aaron Burr. Sir!
(Alexander!)
You’ve created quite a stir, sir!
(I’m going door to door!)
You’re openly campaigning?
(Sure!)
That’s new
(Honestly, it’s kind of draining)Burr
(Sir!)
Is there anything you wouldn’t do?
(No. I’m chasing what I want
And you know what?)
What?
(I learned that from you)(Company, Madison and Thomas Jefferson)If you had to choose
If you had to choose(It’s a tie!)If you had to choose
If you had to choose(It’s up to the delegates!)If you had to choose
If you had to choose(It’s up to Hamilton!)If you had to choose
If you had to choose
If you had to
Choose
Choose
Choose!Jefferson or Burr?
Choose
Choose
Choose!Jefferson or Burr?
Choose

Choose!(Hamilton and Company)Yo (oh!)
The people are asking to hear my voice (oh!)
For the country is facing a difficult choice (oh!)
And if you were to ask me who I’d promote (oh!)
Jefferson has my vote (oh!)I have never agreed with Jefferson once (oh!)
We have fought on like seventy-five diff’rent fronts (oh!)
But when all is said and all is done
Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none
(Uh!)(Thomas Jefferson and Madison)Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damnedHamilton’s on your sideWell, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damnedAnd?You won in a landslide(Burr and Thomas Jefferson)Congrats on a race well-run
I did give you a fight
(Uh-huh)
I look forward to our partnershipOur partnership?As your vice-PresidentHa. Yeah, right
You hear this guy? Man openly campaigns against me
Talkin’ bout, I look forward to our partnership(It’s crazy that the guy who comes
In second gets to be Vice President)Yeah, you know what?
We can change that. You know why?(Why?)‘Cuz I’m the President
Hey, Burr, when you see Hamilton
Thank him for the endorsement
