Would you want to be in the room where it happens? Next time your report card comes out, why don't you use lyrics from the Broadway show to either lighten the mood for your parents or to express your incredible knowledge.
What to say when you got bad grades:
1.“I’m helpless.” — "Helpless"
I don't know how to do school anymore.
2. “You will never be satisfied.” — "Satisfied"
3. "Incoming!" — "Right Hand Man"
Warning: this semester was rough.
4. "My teacher 'is insane man.'" — "Alexander Hamilton"
5. "There's a million things I haven't done. Just you wait." — "Alexander Hamilton"
I have so many homework assignments and projects left to hand in; those will raise my grades (fingers crossed).
6. "Me? I trusted him [my teacher] to give me a better grade." — "Alexander Hamilton"
We were buds, I thought he'd be able to give me at least a little leeway on assignments and absences.
7. “Da da da da daaaa…" — "You'll Be Back"
I'm just singing to avoid the conversation.
8. “I will fight the fight and win the war." — "You'll Be Back"
In order to get my teacher to raise the grade, this is what I must do...
9. "Daddy doesn't need to know." — "The Schuyler Sisters"
Come on Mom, don't tell Dad. I don't want to get in even more trouble.
10. "Well I’ll be damned.” — "The Election of 1800"
Well, I'm in shock because my parents predicted that I did badly on my report card, even though I did.
11.“I’m only 19.”— "Blow Us Away"
Give me a break, my brain is still growing.
12. “I promise that I’ll make y’all proud." — "My Shot"
Give me another chance.
13. “I am in dire need of assistance.” — "Right Hand Man"
A tutor maybe?
14. “Permission to state my case?” — "Right Hand Man"
I can explain...
15.“I am unconscious of intentional error.”
I do not know how this happened.
16. "Hate the sin, love the sinner."
You guys still love me, right?
17. "Goodbye." — "One Last Time"
Just avoid the situation completely.
Then there are the good grades:
18. "Raise a glass..." — "The Story of Tonight"
19. “I’m getting a scholarship to kings college.”— "My Shot"
Or any other college...
20. “I prob’ly shoultn’t brag, dag, I amaze and astonish.” — "Blow Us All Away"
Basically, I'm the best.
21. “Bright young man, yo who the f is this.” — "Non-Stop"
Hello, it's me, the genius.
22. “With every word, I drop knowledge!” — "My Shot"
The genius is still here.
23. "I am inimitable. I am an original." — "Wait For It"
No one is as smart as me. There is no one like me.
24. "And the world is gonna know [my] name!" — "Alexander Hamilton"
25. "Work!" -- "The Schuyler Sisters"
Just. Work.
