Lyrics

[AMERICANS] The heat is on in Saigon The girls are hotter than 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 goin' on? Don't ask, I ain't gonna tell [ENGINEER] Hey, Monsieur Chris, Monsieur John You 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 [CHRIS, JOHN & ENGINEER] The heat is on in Saigon [JOHN] But till they tell us we're gone I'm gonna buy you a girl [CHRIS] You can buy me a beer [ENGINEER, spoken] Showtime! [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 [ENGINEER, spoken] U.S. Marines The pride, the joy of all Saigon The one and only Miss Gigi Von Tranh [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 [ENGINEER, spoken] New from the country, untouched Legs unparted, parts uncharted: [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] The Cong is tight'ning the noose Is it a week or a day or an hour we got? Tonight could be out last shot Got to put it to use [AMERICANS & GIRLS] Tonight I bet that you and I will get along Forget about the threat, forget the Viet Cong [AMERICANS] Mimi, Gigi, Yvette or Yvonne Gonna buy me a beer and elect Miss Saigon [ENGINEER, spoken] Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi Attention, attention, s'il vous plait, 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 goin' well But still at midnight the party goes on A goodbye party in hell [ENGINEER, spoken] And now who wins this pussycat? [GIGI, spoken] Number sixty-six! [GIRL, spoken] Take me to America, oh, take me to America? [MARINE, spoken] Shut up, bitch! I don't wanna hear it I'm gonna get a beer, don't move!
