What'd I Miss

[00:02.99] Seventeen, Se- se- seventeen
[00:06.93] Se- se- seventeen
[00:08.52] 1789
[00:10.87] How does the bastard orphan
[00:12.72] Immigrant decorated war vet
[00:14.93] Unite the colonies through more debt?
[00:16.94] Fight the other founding fathers 'til he has to forfeit?
[00:19.53] Have it all, lose it all
[00:20.99] You ready for more yet?
[00:22.49] Treasury Secretary, Washington's the President
[00:25.19] Ev'ry American experiment sets a precedent
[00:27.86] Not so fast, someone came along to resist him
[00:30.56] Pissed him off until we had a two-party system
[00:33.83] You haven't met him yet, you haven't had the chance
[00:35.94] 'Cause he's been kickin' ass as the ambassador to France
[00:38.64] But someone's gotta keep the American promise
[00:41.82] You simply must meet Thomas, Thomas!
[00:45.27] Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
[00:48.08] Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
[00:50.40] Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
[00:53.14] Thomas Jefferson's coming home!
[00:55.60] Thomas Jefferson's coming home
[00:57.77] Lord, he's been off in Paris for so long!
[01:06.66] Aaa-ooo!
[01:11.77] Aaa-ooo!
[01:12.58] France is following us to revolution
[01:15.53] There is no more status quo
[01:18.60] But the sun comes up and the world still spins
[01:21.73] (Aaa-ooo!)
[01:22.70] I helped Lafayette draft a declaration
[01:25.92] Then I said, 'I gotta go
[01:28.43] I gotta be in Monticello
[01:31.14] Now the work at home begins
[01:34.14] (Aaa-ooo!)
[01:37.01] So what'd I miss?
[01:40.06] What'd I miss?
[01:43.08] Virginia, my home sweet home, I wanna give you a kiss
[01:48.26] I've been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies
[01:50.99] I guess I basic'lly missed the late '80s
[01:53.57] I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this
[01:58.45] (Aaa-ooo!)
[01:59.98] There's a letter on my desk from the President
[02:02.64] Haven't even put my bags down yet
[02:04.62] Sally be a lamb, darlin', won't cha open it?
[02:07.32] It says the President's assembling a cabinet
[02:09.58] And that I am to be the Secretary of State, great!
[02:12.57] And that I'm already Senate-approved
[02:15.04] I just got home and now I'm headed up to New York
[02:18.76] (Headin' to New York!)
[02:19.85] (Headin' to New York!)
[02:21.04] Lookin' at the rolling fields
[02:22.70] I can't believe that we are free
[02:26.66] Ready to face whatever's awaiting
[02:29.11] Me in NYC
[02:31.77] But who's waitin' for me when I step in the place?
[02:34.43] My friend James Madison, red in the face
[02:37.18] He grabs my arm and I respond
[02:40.51] "What's goin' on?" (Aaa-ooo!)
[02:43.15] Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation's very soul
[02:48.52] Can you get us out of the mess we're in?
[02:52.01] (Aaa-ooo!)
[02:52.96] Hamilton's new financial plan is nothing less than government control
[02:58.76] I've been fighting for the South alone
[03:02.25] Where have you been?
[03:03.51] Uh... France
[03:04.67] (Aaa-ooo!)
[03:05.92] We have to win
[03:07.49] What'd I miss? (What, what, what'd I miss?)
[03:09.93] What'd I miss? (I've come home to this)
[03:13.02] Headfirst into a political abyss!
[03:16.47] (Headfirst into the abyss)
[03:18.49] I have my first cabinet meeting today (chicka-pow!)
[03:21.20] I guess I better think of something to say
[03:23.21] I'm already on my way
[03:26.02] Let's get to the bottom of this
[03:27.32] (What did I miss?)
[03:28.60] (Aaa-ooo!)
[03:30.49] Mr. Jefferson, welcome home
[03:33.36] Mr. Jefferson? Alexander Hamilton
[03:36.06] Mr. Jefferson, welcome home
[03:41.14] Mr. Jefferson, welcome home
[03:43.71] Sir, you've been off in Paris for so long!
[03:51.87] So what did I miss?
[03:53.71]
