Peggy Skyler

[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] Work, work!

[Angelica] Angelica!

[Company] Work, work!

[Eliza] Eliza!

[Peggy] And Peggy!

[Company] Work, work!
The Schuyler sisters!

[Peggy] Daddy said to be home by sundown

[Angelica] Daddy doesn’t need to know

[Peggy] Daddy said not to go downtown

[Eliza] Like I said, you’re free to go

[Angelica] But — look around, look around, the
Revolution’s happening in New York

[Eliza/Peggy] New York

[Company] Angelica

[Schuyler sisters & Company] Work!

[Peggy] It’s bad enough daddy wants to go to war.

[Eliza]
People shouting in the square.

[Peggy] It’s bad enough there’ll be violence on our shore.

[Angelica] New ideas in the air.

[Angelica & Male ensemble] Look around, look around —

[Eliza] Angelica, remind me what we’re looking for…

[All men] She’s lookin’ for me!

[Angelica] Eliza, I’m lookin’ for a mind at work
I’m lookin’ for a mind at work!
I’m lookin’ for a mind at work!

[Eliza/Angelica/Peggy] Work!

[Eliza] Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!

[Eliza/Peggy] Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!

[Eliza/Angelica/Peggy] History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world!

[Schuyler sisters & Company] In the greatest city in the world!
