Hamilton to Morris and Duer by Tyler Taffuri Lyrics
Mates, you may be wondering why I have asked to conversate
We need to have a discussion on allowing men to speculate
This decision has the potential to shape our nation’s very fate
Wealthy men have purchased war debt for pennies on the dollar
If we pay these speculators, the original debtors will holler
I need you two scholars to help me grab this situation by the collar
What should we do, Mr. Duer?`
Mr. Morris, Who should be paid more?
I do not wish to make any man poor
but It appears as if we have reached the force majeure
Of not having the money to finance the war
Duer, you are such a close friend
No doubt, we will be homies till the very end
Although I am your superior in almost every realm
I still need you to help me at our nations helm
We must draw a fine line
And tie up this financial loose end
What should we do?
Should we pay the OG debt-O-Rs their IOUs
And give the speculators the extra dividend
Come over and visit your cousin for supper
While we wine and dine
We can fix our America, this continental fixer upper
Plus I need you as a buffer
Between my idol, Robert Morris and I
I cannot afford to be starstruck
While we decide who will get America’s big buck
What should we do?
Do we repay the loans to original debtors in full? (full!)
May be necessary to give the loan gamblers the total
These are all options we must mull (Mull!)
What should I do, Mr. Duer?
Mr. Morris, Who should be paid more?
I do not wish to make any man poor
but It appears as if we have finally reached the force majeure
Of not having the money to finance the war
Mr. Morris, you know I have always been your biggest fan
If you are the Eminem of finance, then I am your Stan
Remember when I wrote that 30 point defense of your plan for a bank?
I did that for little to no thank. Now I am asking for your help, pointblank
Sir, to be frank, I hate to ask somebody who is above me in rank
But your advice on what to do with these war debts would be dank
To be fair America overdrank from the pool of money under your supervision
In war that led to more deaths than the Spanish Inquisition
If we screw over the soldiers and common lenders, they could easily outflank us
But if we don’t speculate, it will be a shank to the BUS
If you help me with this, I will never bother you again
Please I am asking as your inferior and as your friend
What should I do, Mr. Duer?
Mr. Morris, Who should be paid more?
I do not wish to make any man poor
but It appears as if we have finally reached the force majeure
Of not having the money to finance the war
