What'd I Miss [German translation]

[COMPANY]

Seventeen. Se- se- seventeen...

Se- se- seventeen…

[BURR]

1789

How does the bastard orphan

Immigrant decorated war vet

Unite the colonies through more debt?

Fight the other founding fathers til he has to forfeit?

Have it all, lose it all

You ready for more yet?

Treasury Secretary. Washington’s the President

Ev’ry American experiment sets a precedent

Not so fast. Someone came along to resist him

Pissed him off until we had a two-party system

You haven’t met him yet, you haven’t had the chance

‘cause he’s been kickin’ ass as the ambassador to France

But someone’s gotta keep the American promise

You simply must meet Thomas. Thomas!

[COMPANY]

Thomas Jefferson’s coming home!

Thomas Jefferson’s coming home!

Thomas Jefferson’s coming home!

Thomas Jefferson’s coming home!

Thomas Jefferson’s coming home,

Lord he’s been off in Paris for so long!

Aaa-ooo!

Aaa-ooo!

[JEFFERSON]

France is following us to revolution

There is no more status quo

But the sun comes up and the world still spins

[ENSEMBLE]

Aaa-ooo!

[JEFFERSON]

I helped Lafayette draft a declaration

Then I said, ‘I gotta go

I gotta be in Monticello.’ Now the work at

Home begins…

[ENSEMBLE]

Aaa-ooo!

[JEFFERSON]

So what’d I miss?

What’d I miss?

Virginia, my home sweet home, I wanna give you a kiss

I’ve been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies...

I guess I basic’lly missed the late eighties...

I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this…

[ENSEMBLE]

Aaa-ooo!

[JEFFERSON]

There’s a letter on my desk from the President

Haven’t even put my bags down yet

Sally be a lamb, darlin’, won’tcha open it?

It says the President’s assembling a cabinet

And that I am to be the Secretary of State, great!

And that I’m already Senate-approved...

I just got home and now I’m headed up to New York

[ENSEMBLE]

Headin’ to New York!

Headin’ to New York!

[JEFFERSON]

Lookin’ at the rolling fields

I can’t

[JEFFERSON AND ENSEMBLE]

Believe that we are free

[JEFFERSON]

Ready to face

Whatever’s awaiting

[JEFFERSON AND ENSEMBLE]

Me in N.Y.C.

[JEFFERSON]

But who’s waitin’ for me when I step in the place?

My friend James Madison, red in the face

[JEFFERSON]

He grabs my arm and

I respond

“What’s goin’ on?”

[ENSEMBLE]

Aaa-ooo!

[MADISON]

Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation’s very soul

Can you get us out of the mess we’re in?

[ENSEMBLE]

Aaa-ooo!

[MADISON]

Hamilton’s new financial plan is nothing less

Than government control

I’ve been fighting for the South alone

Where have you been?

[JEFFERSON]

Uh...France.

[ENSEMBLE]

Aaa-ooo!

[MADISON]

We have to win

[JEFFERSON]

What’d I miss?

[ENSEMBLE]

Wha? Wha? What’d I miss?

[JEFFERSON]

What’d I miss?

[ENSEMBLE]

I’ve come home to this?

[JEFFERSON]

Headfirst into a political abyss!

[ENSEMBLE]

Headfirst, into the abyss!

[JEFFERSON]

I have my first cabinet meeting today

[ENSEMBLE]

Chik-a-pow!

[JEFFERSON]

I guess I better think of something to say

I’m already on my way

Let’s get to the bottom of this…

[ENSEMBLE]

What did I miss?

Ahhh ah!

[WASHINGTON]

Mr. Jefferson, welcome home

[HAMILTON]

Mr. Jefferson? Alexander Hamilton

[WASHINGTON AND ENSEMBLE]

Mr. Jefferson, welcome home

[COMPANY]

Mr. Jefferson, welcome home

Sir, you’ve been off in Paris for so long!

[JEFFERSON]

So what did I miss?
