Hamilton: An American Musical is a rap musical about the life of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Stewie sings "Alexander Hamilton", the opening number in "Send in Stewie, Please", for Dr. Cecil Pritchfield to show that he deserves to be on Broadway while he attempts to stifle hiccups and snot bubbles while singing.
Lyrics[]
How does a bastard, orphan, son-hic of a whore and a
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a hic-scholar?
The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter-hic
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
Away across the waves-hic, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready-hic to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip-hic, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
[Stewie takes a long pause to remember the rest of the song]
Well, the word got around, they said, “This kid is insane, man”
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland-hic
“Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came, and
The world's gonna know your name. What’s your name, man?”
Alexander Hamilton-hic
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait, just you wait...-hic
