Lyrics
0:00Un deux trois quatre cinq six sept huit neuf
0:03Six sept huit neuf
0:05Good
0:05Un deux trois quatre cinq six sept huit neuf
0:09Sept huit neuf
0:11Sept huit neuf
0:12Sept huit neuf
0:13Sept huit neuf
0:15One two three four five six seven eight nine
0:21My dearest Angelica
0:22Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
0:24Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
0:27I trust you'll understand the reference to another Scottish tragedy
0:30Without my having to name the play
0:33They think me Macbeth ambition is my folly
0:36I'm a polymath a pain in the a*s a massive pain
0:39Madison is Banquo
0:40Jefferson's Macduff
0:42And Birnam Wood is Congress on it's way to Dunsinane
0:46And there you are an ocean away
0:48Do you have to live an ocean away
0:51Thoughts of you subside
0:52Then I get another letter
0:54And I cannot put the notion away
0:57Take a break
0:58I am on my way
1:00There's a little surprise before supper and it cannot wait
1:03I'll be there in just a minute save my plate
1:06Alexander
1:07Okay okay
1:07Your son is nine years old today
1:10He has something he'd like to say
1:13He's been practicing all day
1:16Philip take it away
1:19Daddy daddy look
1:20My name is Philip
1:22I am a poet
1:24I wrote this poem just to show it
1:26And I just turned nine
1:29You can write rhymes but you can't write mine
1:31What
1:32I practice French and play piano with my mother
1:34Uh huh
1:35I have a sister but I want a little brother
1:37Okay
1:37My daddy's trying to start America's bank
1:40Un deux trois quatre cinq
1:41Bravo
1:42Take a break
1:44Hey our kid is pretty great
1:45Run away with us for the summer
1:48Let's go upstate
1:49Eliza I've got so much on my plate
1:51We can all go stay with my father
1:54There's a lake I know
1:56I know
1:57In a nearby park
1:59I'd love to go
2:00You and I can go when the night gets dark
2:04I will try to get away
2:06My dearest Alexander you must get through to Jefferson
2:09Sit down with him and compromise
2:11Don't stop 'til you agree
2:12Your favourite older sister Angelica reminds you
2:15There's someone in your corner all the way across the sea
2:18In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
2:21I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
2:24It changed the meaning did you intend this
2:27One stroke and you've consumed my waking days
2:30It says
2:30My dearest Angelica
2:33With a comma after dearest
2:36You've written
2:36My dearest Angelica
2:42Anyway all this to say
2:43I'm coming home this summer
2:45At my sister's invitation
2:46I'll be there with your family
2:48If you make your way upstate
2:49I know you're very busy
2:51I know your work's important
2:52But I'm crossing the ocean and I just can't wait
2:56You won't be an ocean away
2:58You'll only be a moment away
3:01Alexander come downstairs Angelica's arriving today
3:07Ha ha ha ha
3:10Angelica
3:11Eliza
3:14The Schuyler sisters
3:17Alexander
3:19Hi
3:20It's good to see your face
3:22Angelica tell this man John Adams
3:25Spends the summer with his family
3:28Angelica tell my wife John Adams
3:31Doesn't have a real job anyway
3:34You're not joining us wait
3:37I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate
3:39Alexander I came all this way
3:42She came all this way
3:43All this way
3:44Take a break
3:45You know I have to get my plan through Congress
3:47Run away with us for the summer
3:49Let's go upstate
3:51I'll lose my job
3:51If we don't get this plan through Congress
3:53We'll all go stay with our father
3:56There's a lake I know
3:57I know I'll miss your face
3:59In a nearby park
4:00Screw your courage to the sticking place
4:02You and I can go
4:04Eliza's right
4:04Take a break
4:05And get away
4:07Run away with us for the summer
4:10Let's go upstate
4:11Where we can stay
4:13We can all go stay with our father
4:15If you take your time you will make your mark
4:21Close your eyes and dream
4:23We can go
4:23When the night gets dark
4:26Take a break
4:28I have to get my plan through Congress
4:30I can't stop 'til I get this plan through Congress
