About

It has the same tune, theme and outcome as the final version, but with some very different lyrics. Based fairly closely on the original letters exchanged between Hamilton and Burr, Miranda clearly chose to go with their spirit, rather than their exact words.

Your Obedient Servant (2014 Workshop) Lyrics

[BURR]
How does an arrogant
Insolent, immigrant, orphan
Bastard, whoreson
Somehow endorse
An aristocratic southern adversary
Impossibly connected
And keep me from being elected?
I wanna be in the room where it happens—

[BURR AND COMPANY]
The room where it happens
The room where it happens

[BURR]
You’ve kept me from—

[BURR AND COMPANY]
The room where it happens

[BURR]
For the last time

Dear Alexander:

I submit for your immediate perusal
A letter from a Doctor Charles Cooper
Who was kind enough to give me his approval
To reprint a letter that he sent in confidence
He claims that on numerous occasions
You have called me "a dangerous man"
Furthermore I "ought not be trusted with the reins of government"
Obviously such an accusation must be met with either an immediate acknowledgement or disavowal
Now! Are you capable of such a thing?

I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant,
A dot Burr

[HAMILTON]
Dear Mr. Burr:

I've reflected on the letter I received from you
On the afternoon of June 18th
And I'm afraid that I cannot provide you
With the kind of answer that you're looking for
The phrase "numerous occasions"
In place of actual situations
Conveys infinite shades
It's way too vague a phrase to pin to serious allegations

[BURR]
What?

[HAMILTON]
Listen now; how am I to disavow
Something so unspecific?
"Dangerous with the reigns of government," wow
Surely I said something less banal
Be realistic now

I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant,
A dot Ham

[BURR]
Careful how you proceed, young man
Intemperate indeed, young man
Answer for the accusations I lay at your feet or
Prepare to bleed, young man

[HAMILTON]
No. You know what? I don't like your tone
Lay it at my feet, I'll kick it down the road
Sorry if your life is difficult without your wife
You'll have to be more specific though

[BURR]
How's this for specific, Alexander?
Weehawken. Dawn.
Guns. Drawn.

[HAMILTON]
You’re on.

[BURR AND HAMILTON]
I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant,

[HAMILTON]
A dot Ham

[BURR]
A dot Burr
