George Washington:
Ladies and gentlemen, you could've been anywhere in the world tonight, but you're here with us in New York City. Are you ready for a Cabinet meeting?
[loud cheers from the audience]

George Washington:
The issue on the table: Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank. Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir.
Thomas Jefferson:
"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"/We fought for these ideals/We shouldn't settle for less/These are wise words/Enterprising men quote 'em/Don't act surprised, you guys/'Cause I wrote 'em/Ow, but Hamilton forgets/His plan would have the government/Assume states' debts/Now, place your bets as to who that benefits/The very seat of government/Where Hamilton sits.
Alexander Hamilton:
Not true!
Thomas Jefferson:
Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it/If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it?/Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid/Don't tax the South/'Cause we got it made in the shade/In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground/We create/You just wanna move our money around/This financial plan is an outrageous demand/And it's too many damn pages for any man to understand/Stand with me in the land of the free/Pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy/Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky/Imagine what gon' happen when you try to tax our whiskey.
George Washington:
Thank you, Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response.
Alexander Hamilton:
Thomas, that was a real nice declaration/Welcome to the present/We're running a real nation/Would you like to join us or stay mellow/Doin' whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?/If we assume the debts, the union gets a new line of credit/A financial diuretic/How do you not get it?/If we're aggressive and competitive/The union gets a boost/You'd rather give it a sedative?/A civics lesson from a slaver/Hey, neighbor, your debts are paid/'Cause you don't pay for labor/"We plant seeds in the South. We create"/Yeah, keep ranting/We know who's really doing the planting/And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment/Don't lecture me about the war/You didn't fight in it/You think I'm frightened of you, man?/We almost died in a trench while you were off getting high with the French/Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the president/Reticent/There isn't a plan he hasn't jettisoned/Madison, you mad as a hatter, son/Take your medicine/Damn, you're in worse shape/Than the national debt is in/Sittin' there useless as two shits/Hey, turn around, bend over/I'll show you where my shoe fits.
