Chapter Text
The transition into the next song went smoothly, and everyone listened intently as the first few chords led into the introduction of one King George the Third. Everyone laughed at the forlorn expression on his face, which was greatly exaggerated. Yes, even Lee.
You say
the price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay
“What?” George asked, confused. Alex and Thomas shrugged, before turning back to the screen.
You cry
“No I don’t!” Alex indignantly growled, standing up from the couch as he glared at the screen. George put a hand on his son’s arm, causing him to relax under his touch.
in your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
“Oh! The boston tea party!” Alexander exclaimed, understanding the previous lyric.
Why so sad?
“Because monarchies suck.” muttered Lafayette, crossing his arms at the thought of the oppression that both the people in France and America had to withstand.
Remember we made an arrangement when you went away
Now you're making me mad
“Good.” said George, causing Alex to snigger.
Remember despite our estrangement, I'm your man
“Okay then…” Eliza trailed off, glancing at the screen in confusion, an expression she saw mirrored in the faces of many in the room.
You'll be back
Soon you'll see
You'll remember you belong to me
“Not anymore!” Thomas proudly stated, and Alex nodded in agreement.
You'll be back
Time will tell
You'll remember that I served you well
“And just how did you do that?” asked Hercules rhetorically, causing everyone to laugh.
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove,
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love
Everyone snorted at that line. They all hated to admit it, but they were actually liking this portrayal of King George, despite their sentiments toward the actual man.

“Oh my god,” Washington wheezed through laughter, finding this actor hilarious.
You say our love is draining and you can't go on
“Hm, that is a pretty high note.” Madison nodded in approval. It seemed that this actor, Groff, was pretty talented.
You'll be the one complaining when I am gone
And, no, don't change the subject
'Cause you're my favorite subject
My sweet, submissive subject
My loyal, royal subject
“Not anymore!” Angelica shouted, and Alexander reached over Washington to give her a high five.
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
You'll be back
Like before
I will fight the fight and win the war
For your love
For your praise
And I'll love you till my dying days
When you're gone, I'll go mad
So don't throw away this thing we had
“What thing?”
'Cause when push comes to shove
I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love
“So romantic.” Hercules sarcastically muttered, earning chuckles and giggles from all the room’s occupants.

“I am never taking his majesty seriously again.”
“Neither am I, George. Neither am I.”
