There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slumming it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common
Just to watch them talk
Take Phillip Schuyler; the man is loaded
Uh oh, but little does he know that his daughters
Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at—

Daddy said to be home by sundown
[ANGELICA]
Daddy doesn't need to know
[PEGGY]
Daddy said not to go downtown
[ELIZA]

[ANGELICA]
But—look around, look around, the Revolution's happening in New York
[PEGGY & ELIZA]
New York!

It's bad enough Daddy wants to go to war
[ELIZA]
People shouting in the square
[PEGGY]
It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
[ANGELICA]
New ideas in the air
[ANGELICA & MALE ENSEMBLE]

[BURR]
Wooh, there's nothing like summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone looking pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money
Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels
You searching for an urchin who can give you ideals?
[ANGELICA]
Burr, you disgust me
[BURR]
Ah, so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me
[ANGELICA]
I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
Some men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal"

And we just happen to be in the greatest city in the world

'Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
