There's nothing rich folks love more

Than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor

They pull up in their carriages and gawk

At the students in the common

Just to watch them talk

Take Philip Schuyler: the man is loaded

Uh-oh, but little does he know that

His daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza

Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at—

[COMPANY]

Work, work!

[ANGELICA]

Angelica!

Work, work!

Daddy said to be home by sundown

[ANGELICA]

Daddy doesn't need to know

[PEGGY]

Daddy said not to go downtown

[ELIZA]

Like I said, you're free to go

[ANGELICA]

But—look around, look around, the

Revolution's happening in New York

[ELIZA/PEGGY]

New York

[COMPANY]

[SCHUYLER SISTERS AND COMPANY]

It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore

[ANGELICA]

New ideas in the air

[ANGELICA AND MALE ENSEMBLE]

[ELIZA/ANGELICA/PEGGY with COMPANY]

Whooaaaaa!

Work!

[BURR]

Wooh! There's nothin' like summer in the city

Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty

Excuse me, miss, I know it's not funny

But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money

Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels

You searchin for an urchin who can give you ideals?

[ANGELICA]

Burr, you disgust me

[BURR]

Ah, so you've discussed me

I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!

[ANGELICA]

I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine

So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane

You want a revolution? I want a revelation

So listen to my declaration:

[ELIZA/ANGELICA/PEGGY]

“We hold these truths to be self-evident

That all men are created equal”

[ANGELICA]

And when I meet Thomas Jefferson

Unh!

I'm ‘a compel him to include women in the sequel!

[WOMEN]

Look around, look around at how

Lucky we are to be alive right now!

[ELIZA/PEGGY]

Look around, look around at how

Lucky we are to be alive right now!

History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be

In the greatest city in the world!

[SCHUYLER SISTERS AND COMPANY]

In the greatest city in the world!

[ANGELICA, ELIZA/PEGGY & MEN]

'Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine

Look around, look around

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
