Lyrics of 'What The Heck I Gotta Do' by Lin-Manuel Miranda

[Narrator]
The plan was called operation d-minus. And one of the schools included in the plan was park vista community high school, where a kid named justin laboy—

[Justin]
That's me

[Narrator]
—An 18-year-old honor roll student—

[Justin]
I get straight a's, man

[Narrator]
—Was in the last semester of his senior year. Justin could hardly believe his luck when a very pretty girl showed up

[Justin]
Naomi!

[Narrator]
In not one but two of his classes

[Students]
Naomi!

[Narrator]
She sat in front of him. He switched seats

[Students]
Naomi!

[Narrator]
The last name she used was—

[Students]
Rodriguez

[Narrator]
Justin, what drew you to naomi initially?

[Justin]
Man, she used to fall asleep in class
She was a light-skinneded puerto rican-dominican—
Long hair, mature in the body like whoa

[Students]
Like, whoa

[Justin]
That's not the only reason I liked her, though
She said she moved with her mother to Florida from New York

[Students]
Where dreams are made

[Justin]
Well, so did I. So I said, hi
She seemed mature, and I talked more

[Students]
More, more, more!

[Justin]
And I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[Students]
What the heck I gotta do?

[Justin]
What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[Students]
What the heck I gotta do?

[Justin]
Who do I have to be for you to be with me?

[Narrator]
You told her all this in class?

[Justin]
Yeah. Well, I texted her! Y'know, I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[Students]
L-o-l-o-l-o-l!

[Justin]
What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[Students]
R-o-f-l-o-l!

[Justin]
Who do I have to be for you to be with me?

[Naomi]
Smiley face

[Justin]
Yes! Next thing you know, we're texting day and night. I trust her right away

[Students]
Like, whoa!

[Justin]
Hey, yo. I never met anyone like her, bro. Yo, she listens to all my problems. I let her copy all my homework. And then I lay it all on the line. And she was like—

[Students]
No, no—

[Justin]
No! She didn't say no exactly. I don't know

[Students]
No, no, no, no!

[Justin]
Yeah, I was surprised. I'm a pretty great guy

[Students]
So? So?

[Justin]
So, I decided I needed to step my game up

[Students]
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Justin]
It's too late to be shy. And so I got in front of the whole class one day, and serenaded her. I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[Students]
What the heck I gotta do?

[Justin]
What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[Students]
What the heck I gotta do?

[Justin]
Who do I have to be for you to go to prom with me!

[Narrator]
You asked her to the prom?

[Justin]
Yeah! I danced and everything

[Students]
Naomi!

[Justin]
Naomi! I know there's a reason you were transferred here to me

[Students]
Naomi!

[Students]
Naomi! I know there's a reason this isn't luck, it's destiny

[Students]
Naomi!

[Justin]
Naomi! You know me! Will you go to prom with me?

[Naomi]
I'll think about it

[Students]
She'll think about it. She'll think about it. She'll think about it. She'll think about

[Justin]
She said she'd think about it

[Students]
She'll think about it

[Justin]
She'll think about it

[Students]
Think about it

[Justin]
She'll think about it

[Students]
She'll think about it. She'll think about it

[Justin]
Yes!
