Miss Saigon movie - Backstage at Dreamland lyrics
rate me<br>
[A Friday night in April 1975.]<br>
[Backstage at an after-hours club in Saigon.]<br>
[Vietnamese bar-girls are getting into costumes.]<br>
<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
One of us will be Miss Saigon <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
I spread the word - it's Miss Saigon <br>
<br>
[GIGI]<br>
Who's left to screw who hasn't gone <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
Shut up! and get your hot pants on <br>
<br>
[GIGI]<br>
Each day more GI's disappear <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
There's still some left and they'll all be here <br>
<br>
[ALL GIRLS]<br>
A girl can trust an engineer <br>
<br>
[THE ENGINEER brings in a new girl, KIM]<br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
Surprise! <br>
I found this new girl, get her dressed <br>
From the country untouched <br>
<br>
[GIGI]<br>
Just give that virgin act a rest <br>
<br>
[ALL GIRLS]<br>
"You are my first American" <br>
<br>
[they laugh]<br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
Allez! allez! allez! <br>
Why does it take all day? <br>
Get your asses on stage... I'm raising cash tonight <br>
<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
Tonight I will be Miss Saigon <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
They say Saigon has weeks <br>
I say it's time to pack <br>
<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
Tonight I will be Miss Saigon <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
Each day these little buns of theirs are worth less and less <br>
I need a visa fast, and I'm not looking back <br>
<br>
[the ENGINEER looks through the door into the club.]<br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
Son of a bitch, they're here! <br>
I can still engineer <br>
It's like the old days, my little gamines <br>
<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
Oh sure! <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
You know who's out here? a gang of marines! <br>
<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
They're here? <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
We'll pick 'em clean that's what this contest's about <br>
<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
Yes, sir! <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
One of these boys might be your ticket out <br>
<br>
[turns to KIM]<br>
<br>
Why is she in that dress? <br>
Ah! it's my new princess <br>
Ah, yes! <br>
A bride will give the guys a treat <br>
Lower your eyelids and play sweet <br>
Men pay the moon to get fresh meat <br>
<br>
Allez! allez! allez! <br>
Get out and do your song! <br>
Don't make the show too long <br>
<br>
Voila'! on stage all! welcome to... <br>
Dreamland!!!<br>
<br>
