Everyone give it up for America's favorite fighting frenchman

L A F A Y E T T E

I'm taking this horse by the reins

Making red coats redder with blood stains

(LAFAYETTE)

And I'm never gonna stop until I make them drop

and burn them up

and scatter the remains I'M:

LAFAYETTE

Watch me enganging 'em

Escapin 'em

Enraging em'

I'm

L A F A Y E T T E

I go to France for more funds!

AND SHIPS

And so the balance shifts

We rendez-vous with Rochambeau

We rendez-vous with Rochambeau

consolidate their gifts

and ships and so the balance shifts

For this to succeed there's someone else we need

I know

HAMILTON

Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
Ingenuitive and fluent in French I mean-

HAMILTON

Sir, you’re gonna have to use him eventually
What’s he gonna do on the bench I mean—

HAMILTON

No one has more resilience
Or matches my practical tactical brilliance—
