The Schuyler Sisters

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!
