So I am no @Lin_Manuel, but I felt the need to contribute the following to #RevolutionaryWarAirports:

[BURR]
How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?

(wait for it)

How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross’ flag higher?
Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon!
An airline pilot people love who’s unafraid to step in!

He’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the British henchmen
Ev’ryone give it up for America’s favorite flying Frenchman!

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
I'm takin this plane by the reins makin’
Redcoats redder with flight delays

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em
drop their carry-ons and surrender their liquids and

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
Watch me limitin' the in-flight service
ragin’ em out

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
I keep on chargin' more funds

[COMPANY]
Lafayette!

[LAFAYETTE]
And come back with less

[LAFAYETTE AND ENSEMBLE]
Space
For knees
And so the Redcoats plead...

Now if we can just convince @DaveedDiggs to record this we'll have a meme....
