[LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA and RENÉE ELISE GOLDSBERRY]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine —

[MIRANDA]
There are ten things you need to do

[GOLDSBERRY]
Number one!

[MIRANDA]
You register to vote and it's on
You post that Hillary sign up on your lawn

[GOLDSBERRY]
Number two!

[MIRANDA]
Call some undecideds with your crew
Your cousins in Ohio, maybe try and flip 'em blue

[GOLDSBERRY]
Number three!

[MIRANDA]
Watch Hillary examine the terrain
Watch her campaign with the man Tim Kaine
Tim Kaine in the membrane

[BOTH]
Tim Kaine in the brain

[MIRANDA]
Number four!

[GOLDSBERRY]
Hillary makes each decision
Looking at the world from a rarefied position
A public servant with tenacity, agility

[BOTH]
Mi gente: experience is not a liability
Five!

[MIRANDA]
Now we all know this is the time —

[BOTH]
When the other side tries to fly low, we go high

[GOLDSBERRY]
Number six!

[MIRANDA]
We know that our Hillary's no quitter
We watch as her opponent sits and fiddles with his Twitter

[GOLDSBERRY]
Seven!

[MIRANDA]
Confession time, all in a burst
I want to vote the candidate who puts our kids first

[GOLDSBERRY]
November 8

[MIRANDA]
Your last chance to participate

[BOTH]
Roll up to your polling place, vote up in your own state

[MIRANDA]
Uh. And it's down to the nitty-gritty
Three weeks to go

[BOTH]
Are you ready, New York City?

[MIRANDA]
Yes, in a world gone berserk

[GOLDSBERRY]
Hillary rolls up her sleeves and goes to work

[MIRANDA]
I have only one overwhelming feeling:
Anybody here want to —

[BOTH]
Shatter a glass ceiling?

[GOLDSBERRY]
Nine!

[BOTH]
Look him in the eye, clear your throat
Summon all the time you can devote
Then count
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine —
Number
Ten paces!
Vote!
