The Heat Is On In Saigon - Jonathan Pryce

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 going on?

Don’t ask, I ain’t gonna tell

Hey, Monsieur Chris, Monsieur John

You come to win Miss Saigon?

I gotta get my friend laid as a last souvenir

I love you, pal, but your bullshit

I’ve had up to here

The heat is on in Saigon

But till they tell us we’re gone

I’m gonna buy you a girl!

You can buy me a beer!

Showtime!

See my bikini, it’s just the right size

Don’t you enjoy how it rides up my thighs?

Look from behind, it’ll knock out your eyes

I’ll show you my special trophy of war

For a marine, I’ll show more

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

U.S. Marines, the pride, the joy of all Saigon

The one and only Miss Gigi Von Tranh

If I’m your pin-up, I’ll melt all your brass

Stuck in 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

You buy your tickets from me

The winner gets her for free

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

New from the country, untouched

Legs un-parted, parts uncharted:

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

Good Jesus, John, who is she?

The Cong is tight’ning the noose

Is it a week or a day or an hour that we got?

Tonight could be out last shot, got to put it to use

Tonight I bet that you and I will get along

Forget about the threat, forget the Viet Cong

Mimi, Gigi, Yvette, or Yvonne

Gonna buy me a beer, and elect Miss Saigon

Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi

(Gigi Wins the Miss Saigon Title)

Attention, s’il vous plait!

By popular demand

Miss Gigi Van Tranh

Is elected Miss Saigon!

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

And now who wins this pussycat?

Number 66!

(To Marine) Take me to America, oh take me to America?

Shut up, bitch! I don’t want to hear it. I’m gonna get a beer, don’t move!
