Guns and Ships

How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
 Somehow defeat a global superpower?
 How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
 Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross' flag higher?
 Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon
 An immigrant, you know and love, who's unafraid to step in
 He's constantly confusin', confoundin' the British henchmen
 Ev'ryone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman
 Lafayette!
 I'm takin' this horse by the reins makin'
 Redcoats redder with bloodstains
 Lafayette!
 And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em
 Drop and burn 'em up and scatter their remains, I'm
 Lafayette!
 Watch me engagin' em! Escapin' em!
 Enragin' em! I'm-
 Lafayette!
 I go to France for more funds
 Lafayette!
 I come back with more guns
 And ships
 And so the balance shifts
 We rendezvous with Rochambeau, consolidate their gifts
 We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but
 For this to succeed, there is someone else we need
 I know
 Hamilton!
 Sir, he knows what to do in a trench
 Ingenuitive and fluent in French, I mean-
 Hamilton!
 Sir, you're gonna have to use him eventually
 What's he gonna do on the bench ami?
 Hamilton!
 No one has more resilience
 Or matches my practical tactical brilliance
 Hamilton!
 You wanna fight for your land back?
 Hamilton!
 I need my right-hand man back!
 Ah! Uh, get ya right-hand man, back
 You know you gotta get ya right-hand man back
 I mean you gotta put some thought
 Into the letter but the sooner the better
 To get your right-hand man back
 Alexander Hamilton
 Troops are waiting in the field for you
 If you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
 Oh, Alexander Hamilton
 I have soldiers that will yield for you
 If we manage to get this right
 They'll surrender by early light
 The world will never be the same, Alexander
