Hamilton the Musical - Take A Break Lyrics
ELIZA:
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf
PHILIP:
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf
ELIZA:
Good! Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf
PHILIP:
Un deux trois quatre
Cinq six sept huit neuf
ELIZA:
Sept huit neuf
PHILIP:
Sept huit neuf
ELIZA:
Sept huit neuf
PHILIP:
Sept huit neuf
ELIZA AND PHILIP:
One two three four five six seven eight nine!
HAMILTON:
My dearest, Angelica
“Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day”
I trust you’ll understand the reference to
Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play
They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly
I’m a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson’s Macduff
And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane
HAMILTON & ANGELICA:
And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away…
ELIZA:
Take a break
HAMILTON:
I am on my way
ELIZA:
There’s a little surprise before supper
And it cannot wait
HAMILTON:
I’ll be there in just a minute, save my plate
ELIZA:
Alexander
HAMILTON:
Okay, okay
ELIZA:
Your son is nine years old today
Has something he’d like to say
He’s been practicing all day
Philip, take it away
PHILIP:
Daddy, daddy, look
My name is Philip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just
To show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can’t write mine
HAMILTON:
What!
PHILIP:
I practice French
And play piano with my mother
HAMILTON:
Uh-huh!
PHILIP:
I have a sister, but I want a little brother
HAMILTON:
Okay!
PHILIP:
My daddy’s trying to start America’s bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq!
HAMILTON:
Bravo!
ELIZA:
Take a break
HAMILTON:
Hey, our kid is pretty great
ELIZA:
Run away with us for the summer
Let’s go upstate
HAMILTON:
Eliza, I’ve got so much on my plate
ELIZA:
We can all go stay with my father
There’s a lake I know…
HAMILTON:
I know
ELIZA:
In a nearby park
HAMILTON:
I’d love to go
ELIZA:
You and I can go when the night gets dark…
HAMILTON:
I will try to get away
ANGELICA:
My dearest Alexander
You must get through to Jefferson
Sit down with him and compromise
Don’t stop ‘til you agree
Your fav’rite older sister
Angelica, reminds you
There’s someone in your corner all the way across the sea
In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning. Did you intend this?
One stroke and you’ve consumed my waking days
It says:
HAMILTON & ANGELICA:
“My dearest Angelica”
ANGELICA:
With a comma after “dearest.” You’ve written
HAMILTON AND ANGELICA:
“My dearest, Angelica.”
ANGELICA:
Anyway, all this to say
I’m coming home this summer
At my sister’s invitation
I’ll be there with your fam’ly
If you make your way upstate
I know you’re very busy
I know your work’s important
But I’m crossing the ocean and I just can’t wait
HAMILTON AND ANGELICA:
You won’t be an ocean away
You will only be a moment away…
ELIZA:
Alexander, come downstairs. Angelica’s arriving today! Angelica!
ANGELICA:
Eliza!
HAMILTON:
The Schuyler sisters!
ANGELICA:
Alexander
HAMILTON:
Hi
ANGELICA:
It’s good to see your face
ELIZA:
Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family
HAMILTON:
Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn’t have a real job anyway
ANGELICA:
…you’re not joining us? Wait
HAMILTON:
I’m afraid I cannot join you upstate
ANGELICA:
Alexander, I came all this way
ELIZA:
She came all this way
ANGELICA:
All this way
ELIZA AND ANGELICA:
Take a break
HAMILTON:
You know I have to get my plan through Congress
ELIZA AND ANGELICA:
Run away with us for the summer
Let’s go upstate
HAMILTON:
I lose my job if I don’t get my plan through Congress
ELIZA AND ANGELICA:
We can all go stay with our father
ELIZA:
There’s a lake I know
ANGELICA:
I know I’ll miss your face
ELIZA:
In a nearby park
ANGELICA:
Screw your courage to the sticking place
ELIZA:
You and I can go
ANGELICA:
Eliza’s right
ELIZA AND ANGELICA:
Take a break and get away
ANGELICA:
Run away with us for the summer
ELIZA:
Let’s go upstate
Where we can stay
ANGELICA:
We can all go stay with our father
If you take your time
ELIZA:
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
ANGELICA:
You will make your mark
Close your eyes and dream
ELIZA:
We can go
ELIZA AND ANGELICA:
When the night gets dark
Take a break.
HAMILTON:
I have to get my plan through Congress
I can’t stop until I get this plan through Congress
