[JOHN ADAMS]

Barmaid, one ale if it's not too much bother

Pay attention! Did I mention I'm a Founding Father?

Don't try to front me, I won't play that, madam

I'm a founder of this country and my name's John Adams


[BUTTON GWINNETT]

I knew it was you, my boy Johnny Ace

Has it really been since Philly since I've seen your face?


[ADAMS]

Thank you very much, always nice to meet a fan


[GWINNETT]

Hold on a second, Adams, you know who I am

It's me Button Gwinnett, I don't need a citation

Cause we met tête-à-tête when we signed the Declaration

Big-wig style, how could you forget?

I'm your brother founding father, Big B Gwinnett!


[ADAMS]

Sorry, didn't hear, can you repeat that name?

Was it Bilbo Gimlet, what's your claim to fame?

I don't remember any hobbits on the signature roster

You say you're a Founder but you look like a Loster


[GWINNETT]

What?! What!

You can call me Gwinnett, you can call me Button

All the shorties call me over when they see me struttin'

I'm a patriotic player, I don't need to cajole

I got the lady-folks unbuttoning their button hole

Yeah, ask Abigail, she knows


[ADAMS]

I'm John frickin' Adams, come on, show respect

I ain't never heard of no buster named Button Gwinnett!

I'm the O.G.V.P. and I know every signer

From Hancock in Boston to Lynch in Carolina


[GWINNETT]

It's a mystery why you're pissed at me

But Button Gwinnett will make history

I'm a glutton for attention so don't you forget

Tell him my name:


[AUDIENCE]

Button Gwinnett!


[GWINNETT]

What's my name?


[AUDIENCE]

[GWINNETT]

What's my name?


[AUDIENCE]

[GWINNETT]

What's my name?


[AUDIENCE]

Button Gwinnett!


[STEPHEN COLBERT]

His name is Lin-Manuel Miranda!

Hamilton is running now on Broadway!

The original cast album is available wherever music is sold!

We'll be right back!


[GWINNETT]

What's my name?


[AUDIENCE]

Button Gwinnett!


[LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA]


[Beat-boxing]


[GWINNETT]

What's my name?


[AUDIENCE]

Button Gwinnett!


[MIRANDA]

Yeah, I'm Button Gwinnett

Don't you ever forget

And when we tête-à-tête

I'm Button, I'm frontin'

I don't use my name

I'll just keep free-stylin'

'til we're don' with it!
