Hamilton the Musical - One Last Time Lyrics
HAMILTON:
Mr. President, you asked to see me?
WASHINGTON:
I know you’re busy
HAMILTON:
What do you need, sir? Sir?
WASHINGTON:
I wanna give you a word of warning
HAMILTON:
Sir, I don’t know what you heard
But whatever it is, Jefferson started it
WASHINGTON:
Thomas Jefferson resigned this morning
HAMILTON:
You’re kidding
WASHINGTON:
I need a favor
HAMILTON:
Whatever you say,
Sir, Jefferson will pay for his behavior
WASHINGTON:
Shh. Talk less
HAMILTON:
I’ll use the press
I’ll write under a pseudonym,
You’ll see what I can do to him
WASHINGTON:
I need you to draft an address
HAMILTON:
Yes! He resigned. You can finally speak your mind
WASHINGTON:
No, he’s stepping down so he can run for President
HAMILTON:
Ha. Good luck defeating you, sir
WASHINGTON:
I’m stepping down. I’m not running for President
HAMILTON:
I’m sorry, what?
WASHINGTON:
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let’s take a break tonight
And then we’ll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
HAMILTON:
No, sir, why?
WASHINGTON:
I wanna talk about neutrality
HAMILTON:
Sir, with Britain and France on the verge of war,
Is this the best time
WASHINGTON:
I want to warn against partisan fighting
HAMILTON:
But—
WASHINGTON:
Pick up a pen, start writing
I wanna talk about what I have learned
The hard-won wisdom I have earned
HAMILTON:
As far as the people are concerned
You have to serve, you could continue to serve
WASHINGTON:
No! One last time
The people will hear from me
One last time
And if we get this right
We’re gonna teach ‘em how to say
Goodbye
You and I
HAMILTON:
Mr. President, they will say you’re weak
WASHINGTON:
No, they will see we’re strong
HAMILTON:
Your position is so unique
WASHINGTON:
So I’ll use it to move them along
HAMILTON:
Why do you have to say goodbye?
WASHINGTON:
If I say goodbye, the nation learns to move on
It outlives me when I’m gone
Like the scripture says:
“Everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid.”
They’ll be safe in the nation we’ve made
I wanna sit under my own vine and fig tree
A moment alone in the shade
At home in this nation we’ve made
One last time
HAMILTON:
One last time
Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration,
I am unconscious of intentional error,
I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think
it probable that I may have committed many errors.
I shall also carry with me
HAMILTON & WASHINGTON:
The hope
HAMILTON:
That my country will
HAMILTON & WASHINGTON:
View them with indulgence;
HAMILTON:
And that
HAMILTON & WASHINGTON:
After forty-five years of my life dedicated
to its service with an upright zeal
HAMILTON:
The faults of incompetent abilities will be
HAMILTON & WASHINGTON:
Consigned oblivion,
As I myself must soon be to the mansions of rest
I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which
I promise myself to realize the sweet enjoyment of partaking,
In the midst of my fellow-citizens,
The benign influence of good laws
Under a free government,
The ever-favorite object of my heart,
and the happy reward, as I trust
Of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.
WASHINGTON:
One last time
ALL WOMEN:
George Washington’s going home!
HAMILTON:
Teach ‘em how to say goodbye
COMPANY:
George Washington’s going home
WASHINGTON:
You and I
COMPANY:
George Washington’s going home
WASHINGTON:
Going home
COMPANY:
George Washington’s going home
WASHINGTON:
History has its eyes on you
COMPANY:
George Washington’s going home
WASHINGTON:
We’re gonna teach ‘em how to
Say goodbye!
COMPANY:
Teach ‘em how to say goodbye!
WASHINGTON:
Teach ‘em how to
COMPANY:
Teach ‘em how!
WASHINGTON:
Say goodbye!
To say goodbye!
COMPANY:
Say goodbye!
WASHINGTON:
Say goodbye!
COMPANY:
Say goodbye!
WASHINGTON:
One last time!
COMPANY:
One last time!
