Peggy Interlude (Parody)
Burr:
There's nothing the Schuyler Sisters love more
Than going down town and lookin' for minds at work
But take the youngest sister, she's not for it
Little do her sisters Angelica and Eliza
Know that she just can't get a feel for the trouble.
Company:
Mind at Work, Mind at Work!
Peggy:
Angelica! (she's looking for a mind at work)
Eliza! (She's following Angelica's footsteps)
Company:
And Peggy!
Peggy:
And? Again? [groans]
Company:
The Schuyler Sisters!
Angelica:
Angelica!
Peggy:
Peggy! (ha no and this time!)
Eliza:
Eliza!
Company:
Minds at work!
Peggy:
[Clears throat]
Daddy said to be home by sundown...
Angelica:
Daddy doesn't need to know.
Peggy:
...Daddy said not to go downtown...
Eliza:
Like I said, you're free to go!
Peggy:
But--look around, look around, none of this is good
Doors are locked up tight, fearing Red Coats coming at night.
In New York (New York)
Company:
Peggy, just go with it.
Peggy:
No!
It's bad enough Daddy wants to go to war.
People rioting in the streets.
It's bad enough we have violence on our shores.
New violence floats in the air.
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
It's not that I don't support our independence, I'm very much for it.
But, Angelica just look at all the people
They're scared, why are you cheering of this in front of them?
Eliza, please have common sense with me
Eliza, please have common sense with me
Eliza-
Burr:
Wooh! There's nothing like summer in the city,
Someone in though next to someone looking iffy
Excuse me Miss, I know its not funny-
Peggy:
Yes, please talk sense into her, please
She's incredibly smart but lacks common sense
Which she's been reading, by Thomas Paine.
She's really tense and insane.
She claims she's for a revelation, not revolution
But truth is, she's praying for both.
Look around, look around, Angelica, Eliza
Isn't this enough? ((I'm using the isn't this enough melody to show just how desperate she is whoops--))
What's the point in praying for more violence, can't this be enough.
We're all ready neck deep in a war we can't handle, why pray for more?
Isn't this enough?
History is happening and I fear that the future will end too
The future will end too
Please have common sense here, Angelica you've been reading that
For crying out loud listen to your book.
You're both intense and insane
Please don't let it go further
Lets please just end this quick
We're already neck deep
Look around, look around
We've got more then we can handle...
END
