"The Story of Tonight" is the fourth song of Act One in the musical Hamilton.
In The Story of Tonight, Hamilton, Mulligan, Laurens, and Lafayette get drunk as skunks as they sing of their progress and uniting as Revolutionary allies.

[HAMILTON]
I may not live to see our glory!
[MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE, & LAURENS]
I may not live to see our glory!
[HAMILTON]
But I will gladly join the fight
[MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE, & LAURENS]
But I will gladly join the fight
[HAMILTON]
And when our children tell our story...
[MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE, & LAURENS]
And when our children tell our story...
[HAMILTON]
They'll tell the story of tonight
[MULLIGAN]
Let's have another round tonight
[LAFAYETTE]
Let's have another round tonight
[HAMILTON]
Let's have another round tonight
[LAURENS]
Raise a glass to freedom...
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you
Raise a glass to the four of us
[LAURENS & MULLIGAN]
Tomorrow they'll be more of us
[MULLIGAN, LAURENS, & LAFAYETTE]
Telling the story of tonight
[HAMILTON]
They'll tell the story of tonight
[MULLIGAN, LAURENS, & LAFAYETTE]
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
[HAMILTON]
No matter what they tell you
[MULLIGAN & LAFAYETTE]
Let's have another round tonight
[LAURENS]
Raise a glass to the four of us
[HAMILTON, LAURENS, LAFAYETTE, & MULLIGAN]
Tomorrow they'll be more of us
[HAMILTON & LAURENS]
Telling the story of tonight
[MULLIGAN & LAFAYETTE]
Let's have another round tonight
[HAMILTON, LAURENS, & ENSEMBLE] | [MULLIGAN, LAFAYETTE, & ENSEMBLE] |
[FULL ENSEMBLE]
Tonight...
