lirik lagu the churchill theater - rumblin’ governor

[dayton/narration]
there’s a brutus for ev’ry caeser
our greatest foe was often once our most devout believer
our story today has a judas most gruesome
we can’t go any further ’till we introduce him
the rumblin’ governor of louisiana
which back now was about six times the size of montana
the single most powerful man that wasn’t operating federal
here comes the general

[ensemble]
james wilkinson!

[wilkinson]
i got a big demanding voice to make you shiver! (shiver)
i’ve got a brandy and an order to deliver! (deliver)
i’m out in louisiana commanding a band of scamps
so scram, or i might have you for dinner!
can i be real a second?
i just peed
i’ve never been a man of policy
but i’m good with politics
i’ve learned to play cards, and win with hollowness
my competence is sub~par
but the colonists
they awarded anybody who had more smarts than a solid brick
i play my int’rests, which just happen to be alcohol and gold
i get told that i’m dangerous and uncontrolled
is it my fault i turned out to be two~faced?
why are you startled? i served with benedict~freaking~arnold!
so when that s~xy, hunk of meat aaron burr came to my door
with a vice for a traitor’s own price war
i swore that i would lend my corps to his cause
for a seat next to his throne and a banquet in my jaws
[burr]
general wilkinson!

[wilkinson]
aaron burr!
get over here with your gorgeous eyelashes, sir!

[burr]
you’ve been receiving my letters?

[wilkinson]
and kept ‘em close!

[burr]
then let’s get down to business

[wilkinson]
sure! whaddaya propose?

[burr]
i think the west is at its breaking point and ready to secede
i want to give them whatever they need to make that push, so they can go out on their own
and when it’s said and done, i want to give myself the throne

[wilkinson]
whaaaat?
[burr]
the people here have their own culture; a western one
they may betray a government if made to question one
so i’ll make them sovereign, and they’ll love me in comparison

[wilkinson]
americans don’t want a king, burr

[burr]
these aren’t americans
they’re english, and they’re french, and their land keeps getting sold
to another foreign state, telling ‘em “do what you’re told!”
they’re not loyal to jefferson
they’re loyal to a king
so all i gotta do is convince them which way to swing

[wilkinson]
and if they don’t want to revolt?

[burr]
we start again
we start a war with mexico, we take some land from spain
the order is irrelevant this frontier is the element
of disorderly sentiment
revolutionary precedent
jefferson doesn’t stand a chance from western bedevilment
you and i are the specialists, this plan needs some development
so! do i have your men?
[wilkinson]
you have my life
you got me this position, burr, you led me to my wife
for you, aaron burr, and your lovely, chiseled jaw
i’ll help you get the country, h~ll, i’ll help you write the law

[ensemble]
he’s got a big commanding voice to make you shiver!
he’s got a brandy and an order to deliver!

[wilkinson]
got an obsession with deception so messin’ with secession and insurrection
to me, it seems beginner

[dayton/narration]
days, turn to weeks, turn to months, burr fronts as the veep
and factually, he did alright actually
he met ev’ry challenge he faced, from batsh~t crazed debates
to the trial of justice samuel chase
all the while, there he goes, plottin’ away
and with governor wilkinson, and jonathan dayton
“former speaker of the house turned accomplice to conspiracy”
isn’t this all just so fun?

[burr]
jonathan, you will be my ears and my eyes
maintain my reputation, maintain the disguise
and get correspondence from our foreign allies
anyone who will listen

[dayton]
i’ve got just the guys!
british foreign minister, spanish foreign minister
we’ve got a project and we only need a minute, sir!
come take a seat, relax, let’s talk finance

[british foreign minister]
hey didn’t you shoot hamilton?

[burr]
one time, man
