[FULL COMPANY]
The election of 1800
[JEFFERSON]
Can we get back to politics?
[MADISON]
Please?
[JEFFERSON]
Yo. Evāry action has an equal, opposite reaction
John Adams shat the bed. I love the guy, but heās in traction
Poor Alexander Hamilton? He is missing in action
So now Iām facingā
[JEFFERSON AND MADISON]
Aaron Burr!
[JEFFERSON]
With his own faction
[MADISON]
Heās very attractive in the North. New Yorkers like his chances
[JEFFERSON]
Heās not very forthcoming on any particular stances
[MADISON]
Ask him a question: it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances
[JEFFERSON]
And they say Iām a Francophile: at least they know I know where France is!
[MADISON]
Thomas thatās the problem, see, they see Burr as a less extreme you
[JEFFERSON]
Ha!
[MADISON]
You need to change course, a key endorsement might redeem you
[JEFFERSON]
Who did you have in mind?
[MADISON]
Donāt laugh
[JEFFERSON]
Who is it?
[MADISON]
You used to work on the same staff
[JEFFERSON]
Whaaaat
[MADISON]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side
[JEFFERSON AND MADISON]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Hamilton on your side
[BURR & ]
