guns and ships
Singer:lin-manuel miranda
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
everyone give it up for america's favourite fighting frenchman!
i'm taking this horse by the reins makin' redcoats redder with bloodstains
and burn 'em up and scatter their remains
i go to france for more funds
and so the balance shifts
we can end this war in yorktown
there is someone else we need: i know
he knows what to do in a trench
ingenuitive and fluent in french
you're gonna have to use him eventually
what's he gonna do on the bench? i mean
no one has more resilience
or matches my practical tactical brilliance
you wanna fight for your land back?
i need my right-hand man back!
get ya right-hand man back
you know you gotta get ya right hand man back
i mean you gotta put some thought into the letter
but the sooner the better
to get your right hand man back!
troops are waiting in the field for you
together we can turn the tide
i have soldiers that will yield for you
if we manage to get this right
they'll surrender by early light
the world will never be the same
