Take a Break

[00:00.08] Un deux trois quatre
[00:01.43] Cinq six sept huit neuf (un deux trois quatre)
[00:02.98] (Cinq six sept huit neuf)
[00:04.45] Good, un deux trois quatre
[00:07.23] Cinq six sept huit neuf (un deux trois quatre)
[00:09.08] (Cinq six sept huit neuf)
[00:11.57] Sept huit neuf
[00:12.65] (Sept huit neuf)
[00:13.66] Sept huit neuf (sept huit neuf)
[00:14.96] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
[00:20.36] My dearest, Angelica
[00:22.36] Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
[00:24.32] Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
[00:26.89] I trust you'll understand the reference to
[00:29.43] Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play
[00:32.85] They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly
[00:35.64] I'm a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain
[00:38.68] Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff
[00:42.03] And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane
[00:45.22] And there you are, an ocean away
[00:48.14] Do you have to live an ocean away
[00:51.30] Thoughts of you subside
[00:52.78] Then I get another letter
[00:54.37] I cannot put the notion away
[00:57.02] Take a break
[00:58.73] I am on my way
[01:00.22] There's a little surprise before supper
[01:02.51] And it cannot wait
[01:04.19] I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate
[01:05.71] Alexander
[01:06.93] Okay, okay
[01:07.67] Your son is nine years old today
[01:09.95] He has something he'd like to say
[01:13.32] He's been practicing all day
[01:16.62] Phillip, take it away
[01:19.38] Daddy, daddy, look
[01:20.59] My name is Phillip
[01:21.50] I am a poet
[01:23.43] I wrote this poem just to show it
[01:26.36] And I just turned nine
[01:28.86] You can write rhymes
[01:30.09] But you can't write mine (what!)
[01:32.02] I practice French
[01:33.08] And play piano with my mother (uh-huh)
[01:34.88] I have a sister, but I want a little brother (okay)
[01:37.76] My daddy's trying to start America's bank
[01:39.73] Un deux trois quatre cinq (bravo)
[01:42.83] Take a break
[01:43.94] Hey, our kid is pretty great
[01:45.67] Run away with us for the summer
[01:48.05] Let's go upstate
[01:49.69] Eliza, I've got so much on my plate
[01:51.68] We can all go stay with my father
[01:53.83] There's a lake I know (I know)
[01:56.86] In a nearby park (I'd love to go)
[02:00.20] You and I can go when the night gets dark
[02:05.07] I will try to get away
[02:06.88] My dearest Alexander
[02:08.11] You must get through to Jefferson
[02:09.77] Sit down with him and compromise
[02:11.20] Don't stop 'til you agree
[02:12.65] Your fav'rite older sister
[02:14.34] Angelica, reminds you
[02:15.85] There's someone in your corner all the way across the sea
[02:18.57] In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
[02:21.48] I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
[02:24.14] It changed the meaning, did you intend this
[02:27.77] One stroke and you've consumed my waking days
[02:30.38] It says
[02:30.68] My dearest Angelica
[02:33.74] With a comma after dearest, you've written
[02:36.83] My dearest, Angelica
[02:41.48] Anyway, all this to say
[02:43.67] I'm coming home this summer
[02:44.82] At my sister's invitation
[02:46.77] I'll be there with your fam'ly
[02:48.02] If you make your way upstate
[02:49.36] I know you're very busy
[02:51.00] I know your work's important
[02:52.57] But I'm crossing the ocean, and I just can't wait
[02:55.93] You won't be an ocean away
[02:58.06] You will only be a moment away
[03:01.06] Alexander, come downstairs, Angelica's arriving today
[03:08.91] Angelica
[03:11.29] Eliza
[03:12.93] The Schuyler sisters
[03:16.92] Alexander
[03:18.87] Hi
[03:20.32] It's good to see your face
[03:22.33] Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family
[03:28.04] Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway
[03:34.53] You're not joining us, wait
[03:36.89] I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate
[03:39.79] Alexander, I came all this way
[03:42.19] She came all this way
[03:43.86] All this way
[03:44.96] Take a break
[03:46.13] You know I have to get my plan through Congress
[03:47.84] Run away with us for the summer
[03:49.64] Let's go upstate
[03:51.12] I lose my job if I don't get my plan through Congress
[03:53.37] We can all go stay with our father
[03:55.78] There's a lake I know (I know I'll miss your face)
[03:59.00] In a nearby park (screw your courage to the sticking place)
[04:02.14] You and I can go (Eliza's right)
[04:04.60] Take a break and get away (run away with us for the summer)
[04:09.77] Let's go upstate
[04:11.66] Where we can stay (we can all go stay with our father)
[04:15.37] Look around, look around (if you take your time)
[04:18.87] At how lucky we are to be alive right now (you will make your mark)
[04:21.63] We can go (Close your eyes and dream)
[04:23.60] When the night gets dark
[04:26.33] Take a break
[04:28.21] I have to get my plan through Congress
[04:30.32] I can't stop 'til I get this plan through Congress
[04:32.74]
