One Last Time

Mr. President, you asked to see me?
 I know you're busy
 What do you need, sir?
 Sir?
 I want to give you a word of warning
 Sir, I don't know what you heard
 But whatever it is, Jefferson started it
 Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
 You're kidding
 I need a favor
 Whatever you say, sir
 Jefferson will pay for this behavior
 Shh, talk less
 I'll use the press
 I'll write under a pseudonym
 You'll see what I can do to him
 I need you to draft an address
 Yes! He resigned
 You can finally speak your mind
 No
 He's stepping down so he can run for President
 Ha!
 Good luck defeating you, sir
 I'm stepping down
 I'm not running for President
 I'm sorry, what?
 One last time
 Relax, have a drink with me
 One last time
 Let's take a break tonight
 And then we'll teach 'em how to say goodbye
 To say goodbye
 You and I
 No-
 Sir-
 Why?
 I want to talk about neutrality
 Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war,
 Is this the best time—
 I want to warn against partisan fighting
 But—
 Pick up a pen, start writing
 I wanna talk about what I have learned
 The hard-won wisdom I have earned
 As far as the people are concerned
 You have to serve, you could continue to serve (No!)
 One last time
 The people will hear from me
 One last time
 And if we get this right
 We're gonna teach 'em how to say goodbye
 You and I
 Mr. President, they will say you're weak
 No!
 They will see we're strong
 Your position is so unique
 So I'll use it to move them along
 Why do you have to say goodbye?
 If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
 It outlives me when I'm gone
 Like the scripture says:
 "Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
 And no one shall make them afraid."
 They'll be safe in the nation we've made
 I want to sit under my own vine and fig tree
 A moment alone in the shade
 At home in this nation we've made
 One last time
 One last time
 ♪
 "Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration
 I am unconscious of intentional error
 I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects
 Not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors
 I shall also carry with me the hope that
 My country will view them with indulgence
 And that after forty-five years of my life
 Dedicated to its service with an upright zeal
 The faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion
 As I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
 I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat
 In which I promise myself to realize
 The sweet enjoyment of partaking
 In the midst of my fellow-citizens
 The benign influence of good laws
 Under a free government
 The ever-favorite object of my heart
 And the happy reward, as I trust
 Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers"
 One last time (George Washington's going home)
 Teach 'em how to say goodbye (George Washington's going home)
 You and I (George Washington's going home!)
 Going home (George Washington's going home!)
 History has its eyes on you, you, you, yeah (George Washington's going home!)
 We're gonna teach them how to
 Say goodbye! (teach them how to say goodbye!)
 Teach them how to say goodbye! (teach them how)
 To say goodbye! (Say goodbye!)
 Say goodbye! (Say goodbye!)
 One last time! (One last time!)
 Time!
