Your rating:
[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 [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 [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 [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 [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 [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! [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? [GIGI] Number 66!
