The battle of Yorktown, 1781

"Alright..this is where we were" John said bouncing his leg.

Monsieur Hamilton
Monsieur Lafayette
In command where you belong

How you say, no sweat
Finally on the field, we've had quite a run
Immigrants, we get the job done

Alexander and Lafayette grinned at each other while Thomas groaned.

Washington sat in silence waiting.

So what happens if we win?
I go back to France
I bring freedom to my people
If I'm given the chance

We'll be with you when you do

"Thank you mon petit leon" Lafayette said smirking. Rachel chuckled at the nickname while Alexander flushed mumbling. The three children coughed.

'Aww~ cute' John thought secretly placing his hand on Alexander's.

Go lead your men
I see you on the other side
'Til we meet again, let's go!

I am not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!

Aaron groaned but still enjoyed the song. "End my suffering.." Thomas groaned while Madison shook his head.

Til the world turns upside down
'Til the world turns upside down!

I imagine death so much, it feels more like a memory

The mother raised a brow while Alexander sheepishly laughed.

This is where it gets me, on my feet the enemy ahead of me
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me
Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me
Then I remember my Eliza's expecting me
Not only that, my Eliza's expecting

"Oh yea.." Alexander and Eliza smiled at each other. John frowned.

We gotta go, gotta get the job done
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!

Take the bullets out your gun! (What?)
The bullets out your gun! (What?)

"Yea..WHAT!?" most of them said.

We move undercover and we move as one
Through the night, we have one shot to live
Another day
We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away

"Oh..Ok makes sense" James said nodding.

We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it
It's either that or meet the business end of a bayonet
The code word is "Rochambeau", dig me? (Rochambeau!)
You have your orders now, go, man, go!

And so the American experiment begins
With my friends all scattered to the winds

"AHHH!! COME ON ALEXANDER STOP FRIEND ZONING MY GUY!" Hanzel, Peggy and Lafayette said.

Alexander blushed.

Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining bravery
We'll never be free until we end slavery!

"That's amazing dear" Rachel said smiling softly. The sisters looked at each other.

When we finally drive the British away
Lafayette is there waiting in Chesapeake Bay!
How did we know that this plan would work?
We had a spy on the inside, that's right

"WAIT!! WHAT!?" The king yelled spitting out his tea. Hercules grinned while His friends cheered.

Hercules Mulligan!

"YOU!" The king yelled pointing at him accusingly. Herc shrugged "Sorry not Sorry".

A tailor spyin' on the British government!
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it! (Up)
To my brother's revolutionary covenant
I'm runnin' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin' it!

"That's pretty smart" Angelica said. Peggy cheered throwing confetti in the air.

"YEA! GO HERC!" The squad yelled high fiving.

See, that's what happens when you up against the ruffians
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction
When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!

"Language.." Eliza muttered. Washington smiled at the cheering group.

Rachel giggled in amusement "So childish".

Left! Right! Hold!
Go!
What! What! What!

After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet

They went silent waiting for what's gonna happen next. Hanzel slowly puts on ear plugs.

We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief

"Did...Did we win?" John asked eyes wide. The king's jaw dropped.

And just like that, it's over, we tend to our wounded, we count our dead
Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom
Not yet

"CHILLS! The LITERAL chills!" Bella yelled in satisfaction.

The revolutionaries are literally gripping whatever is close to them anxiously oh and also Thomas.

We negotiate the terms of surrender
I see George Washington smile
We escort their men out of Yorktown
They stagger home single file
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
There are screams and church bells ringing
And as our fallen foes retreat
I hear the drinking song they're singing

"I can't believe it.." Washington muttered.

The rev squad plus Burr looked at each other, The schuylers held each other's hands staring at the screen as The king sulked.

The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
Down, down, down, down

"WE WON!" Almost everyone yelled while Hanzel nodded comforting the sulking King.

The Schuylers hugged each other

Freedom for America, freedom for France!
Down, down, down
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son
Down, down, down

We won!
We won!
We won!
We won!
The world turned upside down!

Everyone cheered, "Da- Washington this is amazing" Alexander beamed his mother hugging him. The general smiled at him. "HELL YEA IT IS" John and Herc yelled.

"Alright Alright you win" The king said huffing. Natalia smiled, Bella cheered with the sisters. Thomas and James hugged each other laughing. Hanzel smiled looking through the play bill, they choked remembering what's gonna happen a few songs later "Fuuuuuuu-"
