[Spoken]
N.C.
Mr. Hancock, you're a man of property, one of us
Why don't you join us in our minuet?
Why do you persist on dancing with Mr. Adams?
Good Lord, sir! You don't even like him!
That is true
He annoys me quite a lot
But still, I'd rather trot
To Mr. Adams' new gavotte
But why, sir? For personal glory?
For a place in history?
Be careful, sir. History will brand Mr. Adams and his followers as traitors
Traitors, Mr. Dickinson? To what?
The British crown? Or the British half-crown?
Fortunately, there are not enough men of property in America to dictate policy
Well, perhaps not.
But don't forget that most men with nothing
Would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich
Than face the reality of being poor
D Ab Abm Bb7 And that is why they will follow us!
