No John Trumbull (Off-Broadway musical number)

(album: Hamilton: An American Musical - 2015)

[Burr:]
You ever see a painting by John Trumbull?
Founding fathers in a line, looking all humble
Patiently waiting to sign a declaration, to start a nation
No sign of disagreement, not one grumble
The reality is messier and richer, kids
The reality is not a pretty picture, kids
Every cabinet meeting is a full on rumble
What you 'bout to see is no John Trumbull

[Ensemble:]
John Trumbull

All humble

One grumble

John Trumbull

[Washington:]
Ladies and gentlemen, you coulda been anywhere in the world tonight
But you're here with us in New York City
Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?

Gentlemen, Vice President John Adams sends his regards
He won't be joining us
He had to be home in Massachusetts for family reasons

[Madison:]
Tell him to stay home!

[Hamilton:]
He can do the same amount from there!

[Washington:]
Alright, alright, settle down!
Now...
