Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 'em 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
[Verse 2]
Work, work!
Angelica
Work, work!
Eliza
And Peggy
The Schuyler sisters
Angelica
Peggy
Eliza
Work!
[Verse 3]
Daddy said to be home by sundown
Daddy doesn't need to know
Daddy said not to go downtown
Like I said, you're free to go
But look around, look around
The revolution's happening in New York
New York
Angelica, work!
[Verse 4]
It's bad enough daddy wants to go to war
People shouting in the square
It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
New ideas in the air
Look around, look around
Angelica, remind me what we're looking for
She's lookin' for me!
Eliza, I'm lookin' for a mind at work (Work, work!)
I'm lookin for a mind at work (Work, work!)
I'm lookin for a mind at work (Work, work!)
Whoa, whoa! (Whoa, whoa!)
Work!
[Verse 5]
Woo! 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?
Burr, you disgust me
Ah, so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me
[Verse 6]
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
"We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal"
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson
I'ma compel him to include women in the sequel, work!
[Verse 7]
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
History is happening in Manhattan
And we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world
In the greatest city in the world
[Verse 8]
'Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
Look around, look around
The revolution's happening in New York
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
Look around, look around
So listen to my declaration
The revolution's happening
We hold these truths to be self-evident
Look around, look around
That all men are created equal
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
[Verse 9]
History is happening in Manhattan
And we just happen to be
In the greatest city in the world (The greatest city)
In the greatest city in the world
[Verse 10]
Work, work!
Angelica
Work, work!
Eliza
And Peggy
Work, work!
The Schuyler sisters
Work, work!
We're looking for a mind at
Work, work!
Hey!
Work, work!
Hey!
Work, work!
Hey!
Work, work!
[Verse 11]
In the greatest city in the
Greatest city in the world! (In the greatest city in the world!)
