A Winter's Ball

by Leslie Odom Jr.

Lyrics
How does the bastard, orphan, son of a whore, go on and on,
grow into more of a phenomenon?
Watch this obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth bother
be seated at the right hand of the father.
Washington hires Hamilton right on sight,
But Hamilton still wants to fight, not write.
Now Hamilton’s skill with a quill is undeniable
But what do we have in common? We’re
reliable with the

There are so many to deflower.
Ladies!
Looks! Proximity to power.
Ladies!
They delighted and distracted him.
Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him!
That’s true.
1780. 1780
A winter’s ball
and the Schuyler sisters are the envy of all.
Yo, if you can marry a sister, you’re rich, son.
Is it a question of if, Burr, or which one?
