Lyrics:

Burr:
There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slumming it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common
Just to watch 'em 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

Company:
Work, work

Eliza:
Eliza

Peggy:
And Peggy

Company:
Work, work
The Schuyler sisters

Angelica:

Peggy:

Company:
Work

Peggy:
Daddy said to be home by sundown

Angelica:
Daddy doesn't need to know

Peggy:
Daddy said not to go downtown

Angelica:
Like I said, you're free to go

But look around, look around
The revolution's happening in New York

Eliza and Peggy:
New York

Company:
Angelica

Sisters and Company:
Work

Peggy:
It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war

Eliza:
People shouting in the square

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

Angelica:
New ideas in the air

Angelica and Male Ensemble:
Look around, look around

Eliza:
Angelica, remind me what we're looking for

All men:
She's looking for me

Angelica and (Company):
Eliza, I'm looking for a mind at work (work, work)
I'm looking for a mind at work (work, work)
I'm looking for a mind at work (work, work)
Woa-oah

Sisters:
Woa-oah

Sisters and Company:
Work

Burr:
Ooh, there's nothing 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:

Sisters:
'We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal'

Angelica and (Company):
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson (unh!)
I'mma compel him to include women in the sequel

Women:
Work

Eliza:
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now

Eliza and Peggy:
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now

Sisters:
History is happening in Manhattan and we
Just happen to be in the greatest city in the world

Sisters and Company:
In the greatest city in the world

Angelica (Eliza and Peggy) ((Men)):
'Cause I've been reading common sense by Thomas Paine
(Look around, look around) ((Hey, hey, hey, hey))
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
(The revolution's happening in) ((Hey, hey, hey, hey))

Angelica (Eliza and Peggy) ((Women)):
(New York) You want a revolution? ((Look around, look around))
I want a revelation (In New York, whoa)
So listen to my declaration ((The revolution's happening))

Sisters (Women):
We hold these truths to be self evident
(Look around, look around)
That all men are created equal
(At how lucky we are to be alive right now)

Sisters and Company:
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

Women (Men):
