Lyrics
Thereās nothing rich folks love more
than going downtown and slumminā it with the poor.
They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common
Just to watch them 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 atā
Work, work!
Angelica!
Work, work!
Eliza!
Work, work!
And Peggy!
Work, work!
The Schuyler sisters!
Angelica!
Peggy!
Eliza!
Work!
Daddy said to be home by sundown.
Daddy doesnāt need to know.
Daddy said not to go downtown.
Like I said, youāre free to go.
Butālook around, look around, the revolutionās happening in New York.
New York.
Angelica
Work!
Itās bad enough daddy wants to go to war.
People shouting in the square.
Itās bad enough thereāll be violence on our shore.
New ideas in the air.
Look around, look aroundā
Angelica, remind me what weāre looking forā¦
Sheās lookinā for me!
Eliza, Iām lookinā for a mind at work.
Work, work!
Iām lookin for a mind at work!
Work, work!
Iām lookin for a mind at work!
Work, work!
Whooaaaaa!
Whooaaaaa!
Work! Work!
Wooh! Thereās nothinā like summer in the city.
Someone in a rush next to someone lookinā pretty.
Excuse me, miss, I know itās not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddyās got money.
Why you slumminā in the city in your fancy heels
You searchin for an urchin who can give you ideals?
Burr, you disgust me.
Ah, so youāve discussed me.
Iām a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!
Iāve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine.
So men say that Iām intense or Iām insane.
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:
āWe hold these truths to be self-evident That all men are created equalā
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson,
Unh!
Iām āa 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!
Cuz Iāve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine.
So men say that Iām intense or Iām 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
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!
Work, work!
Angelica!
Work, work!
Eliza!
Work, work!
And Peggy!
The Schuyler sisters!
Work, work!
Weāre looking for a mind at
Work, work! work!
Hey!

Hey!

Work, work! Whoa! Hey! Hey!
