Hamilton Writing Parody: The Schuyler Sisters / The Author's Toolkit

Hamilton the musical came out on Disney Plus. How could I, a musical lover and author, not resist?


There's nothing authors love more
Than going downtown and staring at some randos
They pull up with their toolkit and gawk
At the people in the cafes
Just to watch them talk.

Take [your name here]: the wo/man is loaded.
Uh-oh, but little does s/he know that
His/er favourites: Rubber, Apple Macbook, Pencil
Sneak into his/er toolkit just to watch the author

Write, write!
Apple Macbook!
Write, write!
Pencil!
And rubber!
The author's toolkit.
Apple Macbook! Rubber ! My pencil! Write!

Author said to be replaced by white-out.
Author doesn't need to know.
Author said not to sneak back here.
Like I said, you're free to go.

But look around, look around, the
Writing is happening in Starbucks. (Starbucks)
Apple Macbook! Write!

It's bad enough the author wants to stare at strangers.
People shouting in their chairs.
It's bad enough there'll be violence in the prologue.
New ideas in the air.

Look around, look around!
Apple Macbook, remind me who we're looking for.
You're lookin' for me!
Pencil, I'm lookin' for a wacky peep. (Write, write!)
I'm lookin for a wacky peep. (Write, write!)
I'm lookin for a wacky peep. (Write, write!)
Whooaaaaa! Whooaaaaa! (Write!)

Wooh! There's nothin' like aircon in the cafe
Someone using crayons next to someone using Macbooks.
Excuse me, author, I know it's not funny
But your Macbook looks like your books got ya money.

Why you starin' in the cafe with your fancy kit?
You searchin' for an urchin who can give you ideas?
Crayons are disgusting.
No, you can't expose me.
I have white-out, baby, you can trust me!

I've been used to type [title] by [your name].
iCloud says that I'm intense and I'm insane.
You want a Mary-Sue? I want a developed character,
So listen to my declaration:

"We stare at peeps to inspire our author
With new ideas to use in his/er book."
And when I meet the final draft,
I'm 'a compel him/er to include [minor character] in the sequel! (Write!)

Look around, look around at how
Many people are alive right now.
Look around, look around at how
Many people are alive right now!

Writing is happening in this cafe and we
Just happen to have the greatest author in the world!
The greatest author in the world!

Cuz I've been used to type [title] by [your name]. (Look around, look around)
iCloud says that I'm intense and I'm insane. (The writing's happening in Starbucks)

You want a Mary-Sue? I want a developed character
So listen to my declaration:
"We stare at peeps to inspire our author
With new ideas to use in his/er book."

Look around, look around
At how many people are alive right now!
History is happening in Starbucks and we just
Happen to be
In the greatest cafe in the world.
In the greatest cafe-
In the greatest cafe in the world!

Write, write!
Apple Macbook! (Write, write!)
Pencil! (Write, write!) 
And Rubber!
The author's toolkit! (Write, write!)

We're helping our author
Write, write! Hey!
Write, write! Hey!
Write, write! Whoa! Hey! Hey!
Write, write! Hey! Hey! Hey!
In the greatest cafe (Write, write!)
In the greatest cafe in the
World
In the greatest cafe in the world!

I can't match the lyrical genius of Lin Manuel-Miranda. But at least I tried, right?
