Say No To This

[BURR]There’s nothing like summer in the citySomeone under stress meets someone looking prettyThere’s trouble in the air, you can smell itAnd Alexander’s by himself. I’ll let him tell it

[HAMILTON]I hadn’t slept in a weekI was weak, I was awakeYou never seen a bastard orphanMore in need of a breakLonging for AngelicaMissing my wifeThat’s when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life, she said:

[MARIA]I know you are a man of honorI’m so sorry to bother you at homeBut I don’t know where to go, and I came here all alone…

[HAMILTON]She said:

[MARIA]My husband’s doin’ me wrongBeatin’ me, cheatin’ me, mistreatin’ me...Suddenly he’s up and goneI don’t have the means to go on

[HAMILTON]So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said

[MARIA]You’re too kind, sir

[HAMILTON]I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked awayShe lived a block away, she said:

[MARIA]This one’s mine, sir

[HAMILTON]Then I said, “well, I should head back home,”She turned red, she led me to her bedLet her legs spread and said:

[MARIA]Stay?

[HAMILTON]Hey…

[MARIA]Hey…

[HAMILTON]That’s when I began to pray:Lord, show me how toSay no to thisI don’t know how toSay no to thisBut my God, she looks so helplessAnd her body’s saying, “hell, yes”

[MARIA]Whoa...

[HAMILTON]Nooo, show me how to

[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE]Say no to this

[HAMILTON]I don’t know how to

[HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE]Say no to this

[HAMILTON]In my mind, I’m tryin’ to go

[ENSEMBLE]Go! Go! Go!

[HAMILTON]Then her mouth is on mine, and I don’t say…

[ENSEMBLE]No! No!Say no to this!No! No!Say no to this!No! No!Say no to this!No! No!Say no to this!

[HAMILTON]I wish I could say that was the last timeI said that last time. It became a pastimeA month into this endeavor I received a letterFrom a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said:

[JAMES]Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good healthAnd in a prosperous enough position to put wealthIn the pockets of people like me: down on their luckYou see, that was my wife who you decided to

[HAMILTON]Fuuuu—

[JAMES]Uh-oh! You made the wrong sucker a cuckoldSo time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckledAnd hey, you can keep seein’ my whore wifeIf the price is right: if not I’m telling your wife

[HAMILTON]I hid the letter and I raced to her placeScreamed “How could you?!” in her faceShe said:

[MARIA]No, sir!

[HAMILTON]Half dressed, apologetic. A mess, she lookedPathetic, she cried:

[MARIA]Please don’t go, sir!

[HAMILTON]So was your whole story a setup?

[MARIA]I don’t know about any letter!

[HAMILTON]Stop crying Goddamnit, get up!

[MARIA]I didn’t know any better

[HAMILTON]I am ruined...

[MARIA]Please don’t leave me with him helpless

[HAMILTON]I am helpless—how could I do this?

[MARIA]Just give him what he wants and you can have me

[HAMILTON]I don’t want you

[MARIA]Whatever you want,

[HAMILTON]I don’t want you

[MARIA]If you payYou can stay

[HAMILTON]Lord, show me how to say no to this

[MARIA]Tonight

[HAMILTON]I don’t know how toSay no to thisCuz the situation’s helpless

[MARIA]Helpless

[HAMILTON]And her body’s screaming, “Hell, yes”

[MARIA]Whoa!

[HAMILTON]No, show me how toSay no to this

[MARIA]How can youSay no to this?

[HAMILTON]How can ISay no to this?There is nowhere I can go

[ENSEMBLE]Go! Go! Go!

[HAMILTON]When her body’s on mine I do not say…

[ENSEMBLE]No!

[HAMILTON]Yes!

[ENSEMBLE]Say no to this!

[MARIA]Yes!

[ENSEMBLE]No!

[HAMILTON]Yes!

[ENSEMBLE]Say no to this!

[MARIA]Yes!

[ENSEMBLE]No!

[HAMILTON]Yes!

[ENSEMBLE]Say no to this!

[MARIA]Yes!

[HAMILTON]Say no to this…I don’t say no to thisThere is nowhere I can go.

[ENSEMBLE]Go go go...

[JAMES]So?

[HAMILTON]Nobody needs to know
