Let Me See His Western Nose

Lyrics

[KIM] Engineer, Thuy's dead He was going to kill my baby and I shot [ENGINEER] You did what? Who is that? You'll be followed, get him out of here, goodbye! [KIM] We must leave! Tam and I! We must set off for America tonight! [ENGINEER] Oh, right! Just like that! Tell me how and while you're at it tell me why [KIM] I hear the voice of my soldier Telling me to bring his son [ENGINEER] You're telling me this half-breed brat Is born the son of a Marine? Let me see his western nose This bastard is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen A passport in my hand My new life can begin Your brat's American So they must let us in! In! The playground of mankind The movie in my mind I'm your dear brother from now on And all our family is gone Boy, kiss your brand-new uncle Tran This kid is okay He is our entrée To the U.S.A.  With these two little diamonds to bait my hooks I'll book us a cruise—"Boat-people deluxe" Don't worry about the sharks out in the Mekong Bay The pirates taking us are more scary any day You just stay here and hide Don't show your face outside Take care of our little dear I will go "Engineer" If you wanna die in bed Don't care too much for country Hit the open sea instead And float there like a cork Uncle Ho! (Oh ho, ho, ho, ho) I'll have to call you from New York
