Claude-Michel Schönberg
Overture
[GIRLS]
Tonight I will be Miss Saigon

[GIGI]
Tonight you'll be Miss Jumped Upon

[GIRLS]
I'll win a G.I. and be gone

[GIGI]
He'll screw you with your crown still on

[MIMI]
What happens when the Cong attack?

[GIGI, spoken]
They'll rip the hot pants off your back

[GIRLS]
The V.C. all wear basic black

[KIM]
Is this the way you make a chest?

[GIGI]
Hey, give the virgin act a rest
[GIRLS]
"You are my first American"

[ENGINEER]
Allez! Allez! Allez!
Why does it take all day?
Get your asses on stage
I'm raising cash tonight

[GIRLS]
Tonight I will be Miss Saigon

[ENGINEER]
Tell yourself your passport's standing at the bar

[GIRLS]
Tonight I will be Miss Saigon

[ENGINEER]
Each day these little buns of yours are worth less and less
Rake in the dollars now before the market falls too far
Look who I got out here
I can still engineer

It's like the old days, my little gamines
[GIRLS]
Oh sure!

[ENGINEER]
You know who's out there?
A gang of marines

[GIRLS]
They're here

[ENGINEER]
We'll clean 'em out the American way

[GIRLS]
Yes, sir

[ENGINEER]
For something free, they don't care what they pay

[Turns to KIM.]

Why are you in that dress?
Ah, it's my new princess
Ah, yes

That bridal gown gives you some class
Lower your eyelids as you pass
Men pay a lot for virgin ass
Allez! Allez! Allez!
Get out and do your song
Don't make the show too long
Voilà!
On stage all!
Welcome to Dreamland!
