Phillipa Soo - The Schuyler Sisters (Off-Broadway) lyrics

[BURR] 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 them 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— [COMPANY] Work, work! [ANGELICA] Angelica! [COMPANY] Work, work! [ELIZA] Eliza! [PEGGY] [COMPANY] And Peggy! Work, work! [COMPANY] The Schuyler sisters! Work!
