Lyrics
Mister Vice President Mister Madison King George Mister Marquis de Lafayette Laurens Senator Hercules Senator Burr What is this? We have the check stubs from- Almost a thousand dollars paid in different amounts To a mister James Reynolds way back in 1791 Is that what you have, are you done? Yes Mister Vice President Mister Madison Senator Burr You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position- Virtue is not a word! ...You are uniquely situatеd by virtue- Virtue is not a word! ...You are uniquеly situated- VIRTUE IS NOT A WORD! Seek financial gain is to stray from your sacred mission And the evidence suggests you engaged in- LAURENS, MULLIGAN, MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE Immigrant embezzling our government immigrant! I can almost see the headline, your career is the headline! I hope you saved some money for your daughter and daughter! YA BEST GWAN GWAN GWAN GWAN YA COME FROM! H A H You don't even know what you're asking me to confess! Confess! H A H You have nothing, I don't have to tell you anything at all! . . .Unless Unless! H A H If I can prove that I never broke the law, do you promise not to tell another saw what you saw? No one else was in the room where it happened.. Is that a yes? Umm.. Ye- (H A H!) Dear sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health and in a prosperous enough position to put wealth in the pockets of people like me, down on their luck, you see that was me you decided to- WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! She courted me, escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner that's when Reynolds extorted me Whaaaat? I paid him quarterly, I may have morally wounded my son but my papers are orderly! As you can see, I kept a record of every check in my check in my check in my checkered history! Check it again against your list and see a list! I never spent a cent that was mine, you sent the dogs after my scent, that's what you FINE H A H I have reason for shame, but I have not committed treason and sullied my good dogs! As you can see, I have done nothing to provoke legal action, ARE MY ANSWERS ANSWERS?! My god.. Gentlemen- MY GOD! Gentlemen, let's go So? The people know what we know Burr! How do I know you won't use this against me the next time we go toe to toe? Alexander- Alexander, Alexander ALEXANDER! Burr! NO! [Door slams]
