The Schuyler Sisters [Russian translation]

BURR

There’s nothing rich folks love more

than going downtown and slummin’ it with the poor.

They pull up in their carriages and gawk

at the students in the common

Just to watch them talk.

Take Philip Schuyler: the man is loaded.

Uh-oh, but little does he know that

his daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza

sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at—

COMPANY

ELIZA

Like I said, you’re free to go.

ANGELICA

But—look around, look around, the

revolution’s happening in New York.

ELIZA/PEGGY

BURR

Wooh! There’s nothin’ like summer in the city.

Someone in a rush next to someone lookin’ pretty.

Excuse me, miss, I know it’s not funny

But your perfume smells like your daddy’s got money.

Why you slummin’ in the city in your fancy heels

You searchin for an urchin who can give you ideals?

ANGELICA

Burr, you disgust me.

BURR

Ah, so you’ve discussed me.

I’m a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!

ANGELICA

I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine.

So men say that I’m intense or I’m insane.

You want a revolution? I want a revelation

So listen to my declaration:

ELIZA/ANGELICA/PEGGY

“We hold these truths to be self-evident

That all men are created equal”

ANGELICA

And when I meet Thomas Jefferson,

I’m ‘a compel him to include women in the sequel!

Lucky we are to be alive right now!
