#HAM4HAM: The Hamilton Children
[PHILIP]
My name is Philip, I am a poet
I wrote this poem just to show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can’t write mine
I practice French
And play piano with my mother
I have a sister, but I want a little brother
My daddy’s trying to start America’s bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq!
[ANGELICA]
My name is Angie, you wouldn’t know it
Unless you listened to my brother, he’s a poet
Even tho, he’s older at the time, I can play piano better plus I can rhyme!
Of course, I have a nervous breakdown when he dies!
I play piano and everybody cries!
A sister sibling seems pretty great
When you find out our parents had 8!
[ALEX JR]
I’m Alex Junior, I’m on a journey
I grow up to be a famous attorney
But revenge is a sweet final course
I rep Aaron Burr’s second wife when they divorce!
[JAMES ALEXANDER]
The name’s James Alexander, I’m a lawyer too!
I had five kids like Tevye, with a boy or two!
No time for relaxin
Cuz I’m secretary of state for Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson!
[JOHN CHURCH]
Yo I’m John Church, I win the pennant!
Fought the war of eighteen twelve, second lieutenant!
And I’m the one who brought us glory!
I kept my mother’s promise and I wrote Dad’s story!
[WILLIAM STEPHEN]
Hey, the name’s William Stephen and I COLD CRUSH!
I moved to California for the gold rush!
I’m a screamer, I’m a shouter, I’m a hollerer!
I died in Sacramento, most likely of CHOLERA!
[ELIZABETH HOLLY]
My name’s Eliza Holly, please follow!
You can see my tombstone in Sleepy Hollow!
I lived with my mom while she was dying
In DC. I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING!
[PHILIP HAMILTON]
The sun has gone To bed and so must I
My name is Philip I’m the second try
I am the youngest Child in our line
Don’t worry I Will live a nice long time
[ALL CHILDREN]
