That moment when you accidentally start singing guns and ships

Gotta say it's refreshing to not have to go "in New York you can- just you wait"

I was singing the lyrics to all star with this.

Lyrics: How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished, In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar? The ten-dollar founding father without a father Got a lot farther by working a lot harder By being a lot smarter By being a self-starter By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came And the world is gonna know your name What’s your name, man? Alexander Hamilton My name is Alexander Hamilton And there’s a million things I haven’t done But just you wait, just you wait When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick And Alex got better but his mother went quick Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside voice saying Alex, you gotta fend for yourself He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother’s landlord Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can’t afford Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on the bow of a ship headed for a new land In New York you can be a new man In New York you can be a new man In New York you can be a new man In New York you can be a new man In New York you can be a new man Just you wait Alexander Hamilton We are waiting in the wings for you You could never back down You never learned to take your time Oh, Alexander Hamilton When America sings for you Will they know what you overcame? Will they know you rewrote your game? The world will never be the same, oh The ship is in the harbor now See if you can spot him Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him We fought with him Me, I died for him Me, I trusted him Me, I loved him And me, I’m the damn fool that shot him There’s a million things I haven’t done But just you wait What’s your name, man? Alexander Hamilton

Me: Looks at screen Music: gets to a part Me: *at* *exact* *moment* aND ALEX GOT BETTER BUT HIS MOTHER WENT QUICK

[Aaron Burr:] How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor Grow up to be a hero and a scholar? [John Laurens:] The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father Got a lot farther by working a lot harder By being a lot smarter By being a self-starter By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter [Thomas Jefferson:] And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter [James Madison:] Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain [Burr:] Well, the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man." Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland "Get your education, don't forget from whence you came, and The world's gonna know your name. What's your name, man?" [Alexander Hamilton:] Alexander Hamilton My name is Alexander Hamilton And there's a million things I haven't done But just you wait, just you wait... [Eliza Hamilton:] When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick [Full Company except Hamilton (whispering):] And Alex got better but his mother went quick [George Washington (Company):] Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside A voice saying, "Alex, you gotta fend for yourself." He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf [Burr (Company):] There would've been nothin' left to do For someone less astute He would've been dead or destitute Without a cent of restitution Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on (ooh...) The bow of a ship headed for a new land In New York you can be a new man [Company (Hamilton):] In New York you can (just you wait) be a new man In New York you can (just you wait) be a new man In New York you can be a new man [Women:] In New York [Men:] New York [Hamilton:] Just you wait! [Company:] Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton) We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you) You could never back down You never learned to take your time! Oh, Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton) When America sings for you Will they know what you overcame? Will they know you rewrote the game? The world will never be the same, oh [Burr:] The ship is in the harbor now See if you can spot him ([Men:] Just you wait) Another immigrant Comin' up from the bottom ([Company:] Just you wait) His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him [Mulligan/Madison and Lafayette/Jefferson:] We fought with him [Laurens/Philip:] Me? I died for him [Washington:] Me? I trusted him [Eliza and Angelica and Peggy/Maria:] Me? I loved him [Burr:] And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him [Company:] There's a million things I haven't done But just you wait! [Burr:] What's your name, man? [Company:] Alexander Hamilton! You're welcome :)

It's so listening to this and noticing tiny things that you couldn't hear in the cast recordings- like a gun shot after "The damned fool that shot him." Nice touch.

ftw you’re scrolling through the comments trying to find that one person who pastes the lyrics

I could sing along at the right pace! The backing vocals were great as I knew I was at the right spot.

I sung this at my Talent Show, got second place, beat by a girl singing opera...she was good .

There woulda been nothing left to do for someone less astute He woulda been dead and destitute without a cent of restutition Started working, clerking for his late mother's landlord Trading sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford Scanning for every book he can get his hands on Planning for the future, see him now as he stands on The bow of a ship headed for a new land In New York you can be a new man

Try listening in 2x speed. It's worth it.

*How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower somehow defeat a global superpower ?* Whoops

It scared me when the people started singing! I was not expecting that! I love it though.

I like how they had Peggy be a back up singer 😂

I was just listening to this while singing the lyrics and the "Alex got better but his mother went quick" lowkey kinda scared me. And also I hadn't realized until now that there's back up vocals to Eliza, Angelica, and Maria saying "me? I loved him."

I'm just listening to this. not even singing along its actually really nice background music

I just rapped this whole song at speed 2,, where's my trophy because I'm out of breath

I'mma just put this here even though I saw this 3 years later How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot In the Caribbean by providence impoverished In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

Alexander Hamilton

Sang the whole thing at x1.5 speed, it was amazing

When you sing this right on beat and hope that the ghost of Alexander Hamilton is proud of you

Now that the official instrumentals are realeased, I can say with certainty that this is the instrumental that is more accurate to the actual thing. It is so good!

Is there a version without the backup vocals? This is the best karaoke track I can find, but I'm writing a parody track with different lyrics...

i sang his and used this for my talent show :)

Amazing version! Thanks for uploading it! :)

This is really well made!!!

doing this is so fun thanks!

This is so cool!

Could you please, PLEASE do "The Room Where It Happens"? Maybe with lyrics too? This is amazing, by the way!

Thanks I needed this for my talent

THIS IS AMAZING! please do the rest of the songs! great job! :)

Thank you.

I feel... so.... epic

Its even better instrumental

I came here to sing along but I laughed a little at the backup vocals

AMAZING! Can you do Yorktown only with backups?

We're the background vocal the original cast ensemble? It's nice to hear them!

I loveee the part at 2:04

Who else at the end said I killed that!!

I like to find these, play them at 2x speed, and rap or sing them. I did it here, but Guns and Ships is literally impossible.

Not me singing this perfect and on point except for the fact I have no vocals to support me: 🥲

1.5 for maximum funness. guaranteed

The ten-dollar founding father without a father Got a lot farther by working a lot harder By being a lot smarter By being a self-starter By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came And the world is gonna know your name What’s your name, man? Alexander Hamilton My name is Alexander Hamilton And there’s a million things I haven’t done But just you wait, just you wait When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick And Alex got better but his mother went quick Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside voice saying Alex, you gotta fend for yourself He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute He woulda been dead or destitute without a cent of restitution Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother’s landlord Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can’t afford Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on Plannin' for the future see him now as he stands on the bow of a ship headed for a new land In New York you can be a new man In New York you can be a new man In New York you can be a new man In New York you can be a new man In New York you can be a new man Just you wait Alexander Hamilton We are waiting in the wings for you You could never back down You never learned to take your time Oh, Alexander Hamilton When America sings for you Will they know what you overcame? Will they know you rewrote your game? The world will never be the same, oh The ship is in the harbor now See if you can spot him Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom His enemies destroyed his rep America forgot him We fought with him Me, I died for him Me, I trusted him Me, I loved him And me, I’m the damn fool that shot him There’s a million things I haven’t done But just you wait What’s your name, man?
