2016 An American Parody of the Broadway show Hamilton Spamilton the Musical - His Shot Lyrics
LIN-MANUEL: You can't be serious! I've got to stir things up sir There's a better Broadway out there And I'm gonna find it or build it I am not gonna let Broadway rot I am not gonna let Broadway rot Hey yo I'm just like a beaver a young overacheiver And I love being a hot big shot I wrote a tune over at Wesleyan College I probably shouldn't brag but dag it amazed and astonished The problem was that In The Heights wasn't very polished I wasn't modest but they dropped a turd on every word Too much knowledge But experience was enough I finally reached my goal now I'm on a roll But sometimes I screech notes unreachable When I was nineteen but my throat was much older These New York critics get colder I shoulder Every burden but now I can manage and to my advantage And I'll clean up all the damage the theatre is famished My plan is to turn In The Heights into a flame But I'm not Auntie Mame so let me spell out my name I am the L-I-N-M-A-N-U-E-L I tell you we're meant to be The colony of theatre royalty Meanwhile Broadway keeps shifting on us endlessly Essentially new shows stink relentlessly They fill them with hot air and have a spendin' spree Everything is overblown condescendingly But there will be a revolution in this century Enter me (He says with reverbery) I won't be shocked when theatre history mentions me I will rude out the rife mediocrity And eventually all shows will be starring me And I am not gonna let Broadway rot I am not gonna let Broadway rot Hey yo I'm just like a savior with Mob Deep's behavior And I love being a hot big shot
LIN-MANUEL & LESLIE ODOM: I am not gonna let Broadway rot I am not gonna let Broadway rot Hey yo I'm just like a savior with Beyonce behavior And I love being a hot big shot We're really really hot
DAVEED DIGGS: I dream of Hip Parisian finally But every song in France is in a minor key Anarchy off the key everyone's panicky What the hell, Lin Manuel will stop the anarchy with one shot
OKEIRIETE ONADOWAN: Yo I'm a costume designer But William Ivey Long thinks my credits are minor I'm joining the rebellion cause I know it's my chance To artistically advance instead of hemming his pants I'm gonna Take a shot
LESLIE ODOM JR.: Geniuses, lower your passion Low expectations keep ovations in fashion Be cautious, let's do South Pacific a lot It needn't be carefully taught otherwise you're gonna get shot
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: Burr, check what we got Daveed Diggs, my pet, hard rock like Lancelot He's like Goulet but not Goulet was different squat Daveed's a lot blacker than when Robert played Lancelot Was Sweeney Todd's with odds much higher up than we thought? Cuttin' a lot of conventional throats like it or not A bunch of revolutionary men on missions as precisionists "Get me an audition for a show that's more revisionist" Oh, am I sounding too wise? My verbiage get's me excited, run off at the mouth I tell you, this is what I waited for, I promise I won't compromise!
OKEIRIETE ONADOWAN: Let's get this guy a Pulitzer Prize! And I am not throwing away my pot I am not throwing away my pot Hey yo I'm just like my country I'm young, greedy and weedy And I'm not throwing away my pot
EVERYONE: I am not throwing away my pot I am not throwing away my pot Hey yo I'm just like my country I'm young, greedy and weedy And I'm not throwing away my pot
LESLIE ODOM JR.: EVERYONE: Everybody, stop. No, No, No Hey! No C'mon guys. No, Yeah
EVERYONE: Woah, Woah, Woah Woah Woah Yeah
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: Thighs up and straighten out your knees Thighs up titillate and tease Thighs up tourist Japanese love our thighs up We will please Japanese with our thighs up We will please Japanese with our thighs up
LESLIE ODOM JR.: We will tease Japanese with our thighs up
EVERYONE: We will please Japanese with our thighs up thighs up
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: I imagine the death of theatre when they're singin "Memory" Grizabella gets me in my sleep every night in bed with me What an awful nightmare do I run or do I let it be I'm frightened of a Lord Lloyd Webber melody See I learn the classics by twenty Where I'm from some around the caliente Ask anybody how my father's vast and bombast records were glass The Molly Brown movie cast soundtrack the plenty Well I ain't down yet and there will come a time when nothing Nor nobody wants me down like it want me up Up where the people are up where the talkin' is up where the joke's going on
EVERYONE: What'd'ya talk? What'd'ya talk? What'd'ya talk?
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: I cannot be sure I'm as good as any old musical my daddy ever loved Oh I hate that word down! But I love this song from Molly Brown And you can always bet I'll make the great no sweat
EVERYONE: I ain't down yet
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: Scratch that, pretend you didn't hear that it's too dated Calling my ultra cool brothers who rule understated
LESLIE ODOM JR.: "Sit down dear boys. Sit down. You're rockin' the boat."
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: Foes oppose us, we take an honest stands like Moses Suppose-is his toes-is are roses-is When Gene Kelly blows us away with his dance And Why theatre revolution will guarantee A freedom for Broadway show pollution Infusing blood that's new will start an endless Cycle of musical depths is a solution My new attraction has a score so excitin' It's frightenin' I have a dream I'm gonna renew Broadway I'll mix old and new Broadway If I do it well they'll learn how to spell
EVERYONE: It's Lin Manuel
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: Well someone tell me where are the answers What's to theatre when is it hot Work with me, revitalize Broadway But please no
EVERYONE: I am not gonna let Broadway rot I am not gonna let Broadway rot This is my own revolution a hip hop solution And I'm not throwing away my shot
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA: LESLIE ODOM JR.: We're gonna rise up Sit down you're rockin' the boat
EVERYONE: We're gonna rise up Sit down you're rockin' the boat We'll keep our thighs up Sit down It's time to smoke some pot thighs up You're rocking It's time to smoke some pot thighs up The boat
EVERYONE: Time to smoke some pot Smoke a lot shot shot Hey yo it's time to take a shot Time to smoke some pot And we love being the new big Love being the new big shot!
