[PHILIP]
Meet the latest graduate of King's College!
I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops!
The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops!
I'm only nineteen, but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
I shoulder his legacy with pride
I used to hear him say
That someday I would--

[ENSEMBLE]
Blow us all away

[PHILIP]
Ladies, I'm lookin' for a Mr. George Eacker
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd
I can't have that, I'm making my father proud

[MARTHA]
I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
He was goin' to see a play

[PHILIP]
Well, I'll go visit his box
