The Schuyler Sisters

Lyrics

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-
 (Work, work!) Angelica!
 (Work, work!) Eliza!
 And Peggy! (Work, work!)
 The Schuyler sisters!
 Angelica! Peggy! Eliza! (Work!)
 Daddy said to be home by sundown
 Daddy doesn't need to know
 Daddy said not to go downtown
 Like I said, you're free to go
 But look around, look around
 The revolution's happening in New York (New York)
 Angelica (work!)
 It's bad enough Daddy wants to go to war
 People shouting in the square
 It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
 New ideas in the air
 Look around, look around
 Angelica, remind me what we're looking for
 She's lookin' for me!
 Eliza, I'm lookin' for a mind at work (work)
 I'm lookin' for a mind at work (work)
 I'm lookin' for a mind at work (work)
 Whoa-ooh, whoa-oh-oh
 Whoa-ooh, whoa-oh-oh (work!)
 Whoo! There's nothin' like summer in the city
 Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' 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 your fancy heels?
 You searchin' for an urchin who can give you ideals?
 Burr, you disgust me
 Ah, so you've discussed me
 I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me
 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
 "We hold these truths to be self-evident
 That all men are created equal"
 And when I meet Thomas Jefferson (unh!)
 I'ma compel him to include women in the sequel (work!)
 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
 History is happening in Manhattan
 And we just happen to be in the greatest city in the world
 In the greatest city in the world!
 'Cause I've been reading "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine (look around, look around)
 So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane (the revolution's happening in New York)
 You want a revolution? I want a revelation (look around, look around, New York)
 So listen to my declaration (it's happening)
 We hold these truths to be self-evident (look around, look around)
 That all men are created equal (at how lucky we are to be alive right now)
 Look around, look around
 At how lucky we are to be alive right now
 History is happening in Manhattan
 And we just happen to be in the greatest city in the world (in the greatest city)
 In the greatest city in the world!
 (Work, work!) Angelica!
 (Work, work!) Eliza!
 And Peggy! (Work, work!)
 The Schuyler sisters! (Work, work!)
 We're looking for a mind at work! (Work, work!)
 Hey! (Work, work!)
 Hey! (Work, work! Whoa!)
 Hey! (Work, work!)
 In the greatest city (work! Work!)
 In the greatest city in the world
 In the greatest city in the world!
