The Room Where It Happens

[BURR]Ah, Mister Secretary

[HAMILTON]Mister Burr, sir

[BURR]Didja hear the news about good old General Mercer?

[HAMILTON]No

[BURR]You know Clermont Street?

[HAMILTON]Yeah

[BURR]They renamed it after him. The Mercer legacy is secure

[HAMILTON]Sure

[BURR]And all he had to do was die

[HAMILTON]That’s a lot less work

[BURR]We oughta give it a try

[HAMILTON]Ha

[BURR]Now how’re you gonna get your debt plan through?

[HAMILTON]I guess I’m gonna fin’ly have to listen to you

[BURR]Really?

[HAMILTON]“Talk less. Smile more.”

[BURR]Ha

[HAMILTON]Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor

[BURR]Now, Madison and Jefferson are merciless.

[HAMILTON]Well, hate the sin, love the sinner

[MADISON]Hamilton!

[HAMILTON]I’m sorry Burr, I’ve gotta go

[BURR]But—

[HAMILTON]Decisions are happening over dinner

[BURR]Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]Diametric’ly opposed, foes

[BURR]They emerge with a compromise, having opened doors that were

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]Previously closed

[ENSEMBLE]Bros

[BURR]The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial powerA system he can shape however he wantsThe Virginians emerge with the nation’s capitalAnd here’s the pièce de résistance:

[BURR]No one else was inThe room where it happenedThe room where it happenedThe room where it happenedNo one else was inThe room where it happenedThe room where it happenedThe room where it happenedNo one really knows how the game is playedThe art of the trade

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]How the sausage gets madeWe just assume that it happens

[BURR]But no one else is in

[BURR AND ENSEMBLE]The room where it happens.

[BURR AND COMPANY]Thomas claims—

[JEFFERSON]Alexander was on Washington’s doorstep one dayIn distress ‘n disarray

[BURR AND COMPANY]Thomas claims—

[JEFFERSON]Alexander said—

[HAMILTON]I’ve nowhere else to turn!

[JEFFERSON]And basic’ly begged me to join the fray

[BURR AND COMPANY]Thomas claims—

[JEFFERSON]I approached Madison and said—“I know you hate ‘im, but let’s hear what he has to say.”

[BURR AND COMPANY]Thomas claims—

[JEFFERSON]Well, I arranged the meetingI arranged the menu, the venue, the seating

[BURR]But!No one else was in—

[BURR AND COMPANY]The room where it happenedThe room where it happenedThe room where it happened

[BURR]No one else was in—

[BURR AND COMPANY]The room where it happenedThe room where it happenedThe room where it happened

[BURR]No one really knows how theParties get to yesssssThe pieces that are sacrificed inEv’ry game of chesssssWe just assume that it happensBut no one else is inThe room where it happens.

[BURR AND COMPANY]Meanwhile—

[BURR]Madison is grappling with the fact that not ev’ry issue can be settled by committee

[COMPANY]Meanwhile—

[BURR]Congress is fighting over where to put the capital—It isn’t prettyThen Jefferson approaches with a dinner and inviteAnd Madison responds with Virginian insight:

[MADISON]Maybe we can solve one problem with another and win a victory for the Southerners, in other words—

[JEFFERSON]Oh-ho!

[MADISON]A quid pro quo

[JEFFERSON]I suppose

[MADISON]Wouldn’t you like to work a little closer to home?

[JEFFERSON]Actually, I would

[MADISON]Well, I propose the Potomac

[JEFFERSON]And you’ll provide him his votes?

[MADISON]Well, we’ll see how it goes

[JEFFERSON]Let’s go

[BURR]No!

[COMPANY]—one else was inThe room where it happened

[BURR AND COMPANY]The room where it happenedThe room where it happenedNo one else was inThe room where it happenedThe room where it happenedThe room where it happened

[BURR]My God!

[BURR AND COMPANY]In God we trustBut we’ll never really know what got discussedClick-boom then it happened

[BURR]And no one else was in the room where it happened

[COMPANY]Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river?

[COMPANY]Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]Did Washington know about the dinner?Was there Presidential pressure to deliver?

[COMPANY]Alexander Hamilton!

[BURR]Or did you know, even then, it doesn’t matterWhere you put the U.S. Capital?

[HAMILTON]Cuz we’ll have the banksWe’re in the same spot

[BURR]You got more than you gave

[HAMILTON]And I wanted what I gotWhen you got skin in the game, you stay in the gameBut you don’t get a win unless you play in the gameOh, you get love for it. You get hate for itYou get nothing if you…

[HAMILTON AND COMPANY]Wait for it, wait for it, wait!

[HAMILTON]God help and forgive meI wanna buildSomething that’s gonnaOutlive me

[HAMILTON/JEFFERSON/MADISON/WASHINGTON]What do you want, Burr?What do you want, Burr?If you stand for nothingBurr, then what do you fall for?

[BURR]IWanna be inThe room where it happensThe room where it happensIWanna be inThe room where it happensThe room where it happens

[BURR]I

Wanna beIn the room where it happens

II wanna be in the room…OhOh

I wanna beI wanna beI’ve got to beI’ve got to beIn the roomIn that big ol’ room

[COMPANY]The art of the compromise—

[BURR]Hold your nose and close your eyes

[COMPANY]We want our leaders to save the day—

[BURR]But we don’t get a say in what they trade away

[COMPANY]We dream of a brand new start—

[BURR]But we dream in the dark for the most part

[BURR AND COMPANY]Dark as a tomb where it happens

[BURR]I’ve got to be inThe room…

I’ve got to be...

[COMPANY]The room where it happens

[BURR]I’ve got to be...

[COMPANY]The room where it happens

[BURR]Oh, I’ve got to be inThe room where it happens…I’ve got to be, I’ve gotta be, I’ve gotta be…In the room!

[COMPANY]I wanna be in the roomWhere it happens!

[BURR AND COMPANY]Click-boom!

Rummet Hvor Det Finder Sted

[Burr]Ah, Hr. sekretær

[Hamilton]Hr. Burr, sir

[Burr]Har du hørt nyhederne om gode, gamle General Mercer?

[Hamilton]Nej

[Burr]Du kender godt Clermont Street, ikke?

[Hamilton]Jo

[Burr]De omdøbte den efter ham. Mercers eftermæle er sikret

[Hamilton]Klart

[Burr]Og alt han skulle gøre var at dø

[Hamilton]Det er meget lettere

[Burr]Vi burde prøve det

[Hamilton]Ha

[Burr]Hvordan har du nu tænkt dig at få din fældsplan gennemført?

[Hamilton]Jeg må vel om sider lytte til dig

[Burr]Nå, så det vil du?

[Hamilton]"Snak mindre. Smil mere"

[Burr]Ha

[Hamilton]Jeg må gøre hvad end der skal til, for at få min plan ind hos kongressen

[Burr]Se, Madison og Jefferson er nådesløse

[Hamilton]Had synden, elsk synderen

[Madison]Hamilton!

[Hamilton]Beklager, Burr, jeg må gå

[Burr]Men—

[Hamilton]Der tages beslutninger under middagsmaden

[Burr]To virginianere og en immigrant går ind i et rum

[Burr og ensemble]Diametrale modsætninger, fjender

[Burr]De kommer ud med et kompromis og har åbnet døre

[Burr og ensemble]Der var lukkede førhen

[Ensemble]Gutter

[Burr]Immigranten kommer ud med hidtil uset økonomisk magtEt system, som han kan forme præcis som han vilVirginianerne kommer ud med nationens hovedstadOg det her er den vigtigeste del

[Burr]Der var ingen andre iRummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt stedDer var ingen andre iRummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt stedIngen ved rigtigt, hvordan spillet spillesHandlens kunst

[Burr og ensemble]Hvordan pølsen bliver lavetVi antager bare, at det fandt sted

[Burr]Men der er ingen andre i

[Burr og ensemble]Rummet hvor det fandt sted

[Burr og de andre]Thomas påstår—

[Jefferson]En dag stod Alexander ved Wishingtons dørUde af den og i nød

[Burr og de andre]Thomas påstår—

[Jefferson]Alexander sagde—

[Hamilton]Jeg har ingen andre steder at tage hen!

[Jefferson]Og tiggede mig ligefrem om at deltage i kampen

[Burr og de andre]Thomas påstår—

[Jefferson]Jeg tog over til Madison og sagde—"Jeg ved godt, du hader ham, men lad os nu høre, hvad han har at sige."

[Burr og de andre]Thomas påstår—

[Jefferson]Tja. jeg arrangerede mødetJeg arrangerede menuen, beliggenheden, sidepladserne

[Burr]Men!Der var ingen andre i—

[Burr og de andre]Rummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt sted

[Burr]Der var ingen andre i—

[Burr og de andre]Rummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt sted

[Burr]Ingen ved rigtigt hvorsanPartierne kommer from til it jaaaaaBrikkerne der ofres iAlle spil skakVi antager bare, at det finder stedMen der er ingen andre iRummet hvor det fandt sted

[Burr og de andre]I mellemtiden—

[Burr]Madison kæmper med det faktum, at ikke alle problemer kan løses af komittéen

[De andre]I mellemtiden—

[Burr]Kongressen kæmper over hvor hovedstaden skal ligge—Det er ikke køntSå kommer Jefferson med middagsmad og en invitationOg Madison svarer med virginiansk insigt

[Madison]Måske kan vi løse et problem med et andet et og vinde en sejr forSydlændingene, med andre ord—

[Jefferson]Oh-ho!

[Madison]Noget for noget

[Jefferson]Det er det vel

[Madison]Ville du ikke gerne arbejde lidt tættere på hjemmet?

[Jefferson]Rent faktisk, jo

[Madison]Nåmen, så foreslår jeg Potomac-floden

[Jefferson]Og du skaffer ham stemmerne?

[Madison]Tja, lad os nu se, hvordan det går

[Jefferson]Kom så

[Madison]Der!

[De andre]—var ingen andre iRummet hvor det fandt sted

[Burr]Rummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt stedDer var ingen andre iRummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt stedRummet hvor det fandt sted

[Burr]Min Gud!

[Burr og de andre]Vi stoler på GudMen vi vil aldrig rigtig vide, hvad der blev snakket omKlik-bum, og så skete det

[Burr]Og der var ingen andre i rummet hvor det fandt sted

[De andre]Alexander Hamilton!

[Burr]Hvad sagde de for at få dig til at sælge New York City ned ad floden

[De andre]Alexander Hamilton!

[Burr]Kendte Washington til middagen?Presset presidenten dig til at få kompromiset igennem?

[De andre]Alexander Hamilton!

[Burr]Eller vidste du, at selv da er det ligegyldigtHvor nationens hovedstad anlægges?

[Hamilton]For det er os, der har bankerneVi er i samme situation

[Burr]Du fik mere, and du gav

[Hamilton]Og jeg ville have det jeg fikNår man har en fod inde i spillet, bliver man i spilletMen man vinder ikke, hvis man ikke spiller spilletMan bliver elsket for det, man bliver hadet for detMan får ikke noget, hvis man

[Hamilton og de andre]Venter på det, venter på det, venter!

[Hamilton]Må Gud hjælpe og tilgive migJeg vil skabeNoget, som lever længereEnd jeg gør

[Hamilton / Jefferson /Madison / Washington]Hvad vil du, burr?Hvad vil du, burr?Hvis du ikke står for nogetBurr, hvad falder du så for?

[Burr]JegVil gerne være iRummet hvor det finder stedRummet hvor det finder stedJegVil gerne være iRummet hvor det finder stedRummet hvor det finder sted

[Burr]Jeg

Vil gerne være iRummet hvor det finder sted

JegVil gerne være i rummet...ÅhÅh

Vil gerne væreVil gerne væreJeg må indJeg må indI rummetI det store, gamle rum

[De andre]Kompromisets kunst—

[Burr]Hold jer for næsen og luk øjnene

[De andre]Vi vil have vores ledere til at redde dagen—

[Burr]Men vi har ikke noget at sige i dét, de bytter bort

[De andre]Vi drømmer om en helt ny start—

[Burr]Men vi drømmer i mørket for det meste

[Burr og de andre]Mørkt som en grav hvor det finder sted

[Burr]Jeg må ind iRummet....

Jeg må ind...

[De andre]Rummet hvor det finder sted

[Burr]Jeg må ind...

[De andre]Rummet hvor det finder sted

[Burr]Åh, jeg må ind iRummet hvor det finder sted...Jeg må ind, jeg må ind, jeg må ind...I rummet!

[De andre]Jeg vil gerne være i rummetHvor det finder sted!

[Burr og de andre]Klik-bum!
