There's a letter on my desk from the President
Haven't even put my bags down yet
Sally be a lamb, darlin', won't cha open it?
It says the President's assembling a cabinet
And that I am to be the Secretary of State, great!
And that I'm already Senate-approved
I just got home and now I'm headed up to New York
(Headin' to New York!)
(Headin' to New York!)
Lookin' at the rolling fields
I can't believe that we are free
Ready to face
Whatever's awaiting
Me in N.Y.C.
But who's waitin' for me when I step in the place?
My friend James Madison, red in the face
He grabs my arm and I respond
"What's goin' on?" (Aaa-ooo!)
Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation's very soul
Can you get us out of the mess we're in?
(Aaa-ooo!)
Hamilton's new financial plan is nothing less
Than government control
I've been fighting for the South alone
Where have you been?
Uh... France
(Aaa-ooo!)
We have to win
What'd I miss? (What, what, what'd I miss?)
What'd I miss? (I've come home to this)
Headfirst into a political abyss!
(Headfirst into the abyss)
I have my first cabinet meeting today (chicka-pow!)
I guess I better think of something to say
I'm already on my way
Let's get to the bottom of this
