The Schuyler Sisters
[BURR]
There's nothing rich folks love more, than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor! They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common just to watch 'em talk! Take Philip 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--
[COMPANY]

[ANGELICA]
Daddy doesn't need to know.
[PEGGY]
Daddy said not to go downtown...
[ANGELICA]
Like I said, you're free to go!
But--
Look around, look around! The Revolution's happening in New York! (New York)
[COMPANY]
Angelica! Work!
[PEGGY]
It's bad enough Daddy wants to go to war...
[ELIZA]
People shouting in the square...
[PEGGY]
It's bad enough that there'll be violence on our shore...
[ELIZA]
New ideas in the air...
[ELIZA]
Look around, look around! Angelica, remind me what we're looking for...
[MALE COMPANY]

Whoa! Whoa! Work!
[BURR]
Whoo! 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 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. So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane. You want a revolution? I want a revelation! So listen to my declaration!"
[ANGELICA/PEGGY/ELIZA]
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal!"
[ANGELICA]
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson...
[COMPANY]
Oh!
[ANGELICA]
Imma compel him to include women in the sequel! Work!
[ELIZA]
Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now! Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now!
