Miss Saigon Soundtrack Miscellaneous The Heat Is On In Saigon ("Dreamland" is a club filled with American Marines, civilians and south Vietnamese officers. The girls parade around and get the crowd to buy raffle tickets: the winner of the "beauty contest" will be the prize.) AMERICANS the heat is on in Saigon the girls are hotter 'n' hell one of these slits here will be Miss Saigon God, the tension is high, not to mention the smell the heat is on in Saigon is there a war going on? don't ask, I ain't gonna tell (two friends, CHRIS and JOHN, are among the Marines. JOHN is with one of the girls) ENGINEER ah, monsieur Chris! monsieur John! you've come to win Miss Saigon JOHN I gotta get my friend laid as a last souvenir CHRIS I love you, pal, but your bullshit I've had up to here ENGINEER, CHRIS and JOHN the heat is on in Saigon JOHN but 'til they tell us we're gone I'm gonna buy you a girl CHRIS you can buy me a beer (the girls leave the men and move onto the stage) MIMI see my bikini, it's just the right size YVETTE don't you enjoy how it rides up my thighs? look from behind, it'll knock out your eyes YVONNE I'll show you: my special trophy of war MIMI for a Marine, I'll show more AMERICANS you won't get up off the floor the heat is on in Saigon don't tell me I'm reassigned, all that chickenshit sucks tonight I'm out of my mind, not to mention ten bucks GIGI if I'm your pin-up, I'll melt all your brass stuck on your wall, with a pin in my ass if you get me, you will travel first class I'll show you, we will make magic, cheri ENGINEER you buy more tickets from me the winner gets her for free CHRIS the meat is cheap in Saigon I used to love getting stoned, waking up with some whore I don't know why I went dead, it's not fun anymore (the ENGINEER pushes KIM forward) KIM I'm seventeen, and I'm new here today the village I come from seems so far away all of the girls know much more what to say but I know I have a heart like the sea a million dreams are in me CHRIS Good Jesus, John, who is she? AMERICANS (AND CROWD) the Cong is tight'ning the noose is it a week or a day or an hour that we got? tonight could be our last shot got to put it to use (the GIRLS come off the stage and mingle with the men.) ALL, INCLUDING GIRLS tonight I bet that you and I will get along forget about the threat, forget the Viet-Cong ALL MEN Mimi, Gigi, Yvette or Yvonne gonna buy me a beer, and elect Miss Saigon (the ENGINEER holds the election by holding his hand over each girl's head for applause. When KIM is judged, CHRIS claps loudly, which makes her notice him.) ENGINEER Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi (GIGI wins) ENGINEER attention, s'il vous plait! by popular demand Miss Gigi Van Tranh is elected Miss Saigon! (the ENGINEER puts a cheap tiara on GIGI and a ribbon which says "Miss Saigon".) AMERICANS the heat is on in Saigon and things are not going well but still at midnight, the party goes on a good-bye party in hell ENGINEER and now who wins this pussycat? (the ENGINEER holds a bowl; GIGI picks up a ticket.) GIGI number 66! (it is one of the Marines. He cheers with his friends. The scene freezes.) |
