The lyrics for all 8 Hamilton Children (as seen at today’s #Ham4Ham show) lyrics by Morgan Marcell & Lin-Manuel Miranda
ANGELICA:
My name is Angie, you wouldn’t know it
Unless you listened to my brother, he’s
a poet.
Even tho, he’s older at the time, I can play piano better plus I can rhyme!
Of course, I have a nervous breakdown when he dies!I play piano and everybody cries!
A sister sibling seems pretty great
When you find out our parents had 8!
ALEX JR:
I’m Alex Junior, I’m on a journey
I grow up to be a famous attorney
But revenge is a sweet final courseI rep Aaron Burr’s second wife when
they divorce!JAMES ALEXANDER:
The name’s James Alexander, I’m a
lawyer too!I had five kids like Tevye, with a boy
or two!No time for relaxin,
Cuz I’m secretary of state for Bloody
Bloody Andrew Jackson!JOHN CHURCH:
Yo I’m John Church, I win the pennant!
Fought the war of eighteen twelve,
second lieutenant!And I’m the one who brought us glory!
I kept my mother’s promise and I wrote
Dad’s story!WILLIAM STEPHEN:
Hey, the name’s William Stephen and I
COLD CRUSH!I moved to California for the gold
rush!I’m a screamer, I’m a shouter, I’m a
hollerer!I died in Sacramento, most likely of
CHOLERA!ELIZABETH HOLLY:
My name’s Eliza Holly, please follow!
You can see my tombstone in Sleepy
Hollow!I lived with my mom while she was dying
In DC. I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING!
PHILIP HAMILTON
The sun has gone To bed and so must I
My name is Philip I’m the second try
I am the youngest Child in our line
Don’t worry I Will live a nice long
timeGoodbyyyyyyyyyye
Goodbyyyyyyyyeee

I would like to thank LMM not just for Hamilton but for giving us this gif before the election season:
i bet alexander hamilton would be that bastard that finishes NaNoWriMo in 1 day.
CEO of a major corporation: What are the teens into these days?
Assistant: Well sir, it seems they’re blogging about… the Founding Fathers
CEO: I need a real answer, Jones!
Assistant: Sir, that IS the real answer
CEO:.. I don’t understand what the children want
Hamilton wrote…the other fifty one!
