Don't do a thing.“Stayin' Alive” is a 1977 disco single written by the Bee Gees which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for four weeks. Washington cannot be left alone to his devices Indecisive, from crisis to crisis The best thing he can do for the revolution Is turn n' go back to plantin' tobacco in Mount Vernon Charles Lee was left behind Without a pot to piss in He started sayin' this to anybody who would listen As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat I'm sorry, is this not your speed? Hamilton!
What are you doing, Lee? Get back on your feet! He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth He's not the choice I would have gone with
Instead of me He promotes Charles Lee Makes him second-in-command We cut supply lines, we steal contraband We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand And ev'ry day Sir, entrust me with a command And ev'ry day I stay at work with Hamilton We write essays against slavery And every day's a test of our camaraderie And bravery I ask for French aid I pray that France has sent a ship I go back to New York and my apprenticeship Stay alive 'til this horror show is past We're gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight Don't engage, strike by night Remain relentless 'til their troops take flight There's only one way for us to win this Provoke outrage, outright
I have never seen the General so despondent I have taken over writing all his correspondence Congress writes George, attack the British forces I shoot back We have resorted to eating our horses Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance They only take British money So sing a song of sixpence
