The election of 1800
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
He’s very attractive
in the North
New Yorkers like his chances
He’s not very forthcoming
on any particular stances
Ask him a question it glances off
he obfuscates he dances
And they say I’m a Francophile
at least they know I know
where France is
Thomas 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
Whaaaat
It might be nice it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side
It might be nice it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side
Talk less
Burr
Smile more
Burr
Don’t let ‘em know
what you’re against
or what you’re for
Burr
Shake hands with him
Burr
Charm her
Burr
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
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
Jefferson or Burr
We know it’s lose-lose
Jefferson or Burr
Jefferson or Burr
But if you had to choose
Dear Mr Hamilton
Jefferson or Burr
John Adams doesn’t stand
a chance so who are you promoting
We know it’s lose-lose
Jefferson or Burr
But if you had to choose
But if you had to choose
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
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
Jefferson or Burr
If you had to choose
If you had to
Choose Choose
Choose Choose
Choose Choose
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
Oooooooooooooh
Well I’ll be damned
Well I’ll be damned
Hamilton’s on your side
Well I’ll be damned
Well I’ll be damned
And
You won in a landslide
Congrats on a race well-run
I did give you a fight
Uh-huh
I look forward to our partnership
Our partnership
As your vice-President
Ha 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
Ooh 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
