What'd I Miss

What'd I Miss - Daveed Diggs/Leslie Odom Jr./Okieriete Onaodowan/Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton

(《 亞歷山大·漢米爾頓》音樂劇插曲)

Seventeen se se seventeen

Se se seventeen

1789

How does the bastard orphan

Immigrant decorated war vet

Unite the colonies through more debt

Fight the other founding fathers til he has to forfeit

Have it all lose it all

You ready for more yet

Treasury Secretary Washington's the President

Ev'ry American experiment sets a precedent

Not so fast Someone came along to resist him

Pissed him off until we had a two-party system

You haven't met him yet you haven't had the chance

'Cause he's been kickin' a** as the ambassador to France

But someone's gotta keep the American promise

You simply must meet Thomas Thomas

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Thomas Jefferson's coming home

Thomas Jefferson's coming home Lord he's

Been off in Paris for so long

Aaa-ooo

Aaa-ooo

France is following us to revolution

There is no more status quo

But the sun comes up and the world still spins

Aaa-ooo

I helped Lafayette draft a declaration

Then I said I gotta go

I gotta be in Monticello

Now the work at

Home begins

Aaa-ooo

So what'd I miss

What'd I miss

Virginia my home sweet home I wanna give you a kiss

I've been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies

I guess I basic'lly missed the late eighties

I traveled the wide wide world and came back to this

Aaa-ooo

There's a letter on my desk from the President

Haven't even put my bags down yet

Sally be a lamb darlin' won'tcha open it

It says the President's assembling a cabinet

And that I am to be the Secretary of State great

And that I'm already Senate-approved

I just got home and now I'm headed up to New York

Headin' to New York

Headin' to New York

Lookin' at the rolling fields

I can't believe that we are free

Ready to face

Whatever's awaiting

Me in NYC

But who's waitin' for me when I step in the place

My friend James Madison red in the face

He grabs my arm and

I respond

What's goin' on

Thomas we are engaged in a battle for our nation's very soul

Can you get us out of the mess we're in

Aaa-ooo

Hamilton's new financial plan is nothing less

Than government control

I've been fighting for the South alone

Where have you been

Uh France

Aaa-ooo

We have to win

What'd I miss

What'd I miss

Headfirst into a political abyss

I have my first cabinet meeting today

I guess I better think of something to say

I'm already on my way

Let's get to the bottom of this

What did I miss

Ahhh ah

Mr. Jefferson welcome home

Mr. Jefferson Alexander Hamilton

Mr. Jefferson welcome home

Mr. Jefferson welcome home

Sir you've been off in Paris for so long

So what did I miss
