Aaron Burr Sir Lyrics in English
Start of the Lyrics
[Company:]
1776. New York City.
[Hamilton:]
Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?
[Burr:]
That depends. Who’s asking?
[Hamilton:]
Oh, well, sure, sir
I’m Alexander Hamilton, I’m at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
[Hamilton:]
Oh, well, sure, sir
I’m Alexander Hamilton, I’m at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
[Hamilton:]
Sir…
I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It’s a blur, sir. He handles the financials?
[Burr:]
You punched the bursar
[Hamilton:]
Yes!
I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid, I’m not stupid.
So how’d you do it? How’d you graduate so fast?
[Burr:]
It was my parents’ dying wish before they passed
[Hamilton:]
You’re an orphan. Of course! I’m an orphan
God, I wish there was a war!
Then we could prove that we’re worth more
Than anyone bargained for…
[Burr:]
Can I buy you a drink?
