Hi, I'm Jimmy Fallon and I'm about to sing "You'll Be Back" From the hit musical, Hamilton. Now obviously I'm not a Broadway star, but I am classically trained, And by that I mean I was trained by vocal coach, Ed Classically, Who-- actually, "Classic-alley" is another pronunciation. He works out of his mother's basement in New Jersey, And he has a breathing technique that I use, And that's the way I'll be able to hit these high notes and these long, powerful, belting chords. So, hopefully you enjoy, here's "You'll Be Back." You say The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay You cry In your tea which you hurl in the sea as you see me go by... You say The price of my love's not a price that you're willing to pay You cry In your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by Why so sad? Remember we made an arrangement when you went away Now you're making me mad Remember, despite our estrangement, I'm your man You'll be back, soon you'll see You'll remember you belong to me You'll be back, time will tell You'll remember that I served you well 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! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da... You say our love is draining and you can't go on You'll be the one complaining when I am gone... And no, don't change the subject Cuz you're my favorite subject My sweet, submissive subject My loyal, royal subject 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 Cuz when push comes to shove I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat da— Everybody! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da da da da Dat dat da ya da!
