Miss Saigon movie - Let Me See His Western Nose lyrics

rate me

<br>

(KIM bursts into the ENGINEER's shack, carrying TAM)<br>

<br>

[KIM]<br>

Engineer! Thuy is dead!<br>

He was going to kill my baby and I shot<br>

<br>

[ENGINEER]<br>

You did what? Who is that?<br>

You'll be followed! Get him out of here!<br>

Goodbye!<br>

<br>

[KIM]<br>

We must leave! Tam and I!<br>

We must set off for America tonight<br>

<br>

[ENGINEER]<br>

Oh right! Just like that!<br>

Tell me how, and tell me at it, tell<br>

Me why<br>

<br>

[KIM]<br>

I hear the voice of my soldier<br>

Telling me to bring...his son<br>

<br>

[ENGINEER]<br>

You're telling me this half-breed brat<br>

Is born the son of a marine?<br>

<br>

Let me see his western nose<br>

This bastard is...<br>

The most beautiful sight I've ever seen!<br>

A passport in my hand<br>

My new life can begin<br>

Your brat's American<br>

So they must let us in!<br>

In!<br>

The playground of mankind!<br>

The movie in my mind!<br>

<br>

I'm your dear brother from now on<br>

And all our family is gone<br>

Boy, kiss you brand-new uncle Tran<br>

This kid is okay<br>

He is our entree<br>

To the U.S.A<br>

<br>

With these two little diamonds to bait<br>

My hooks<br>

I'll book us a cruise - "Boat-people"<br>

Deluxe<br>

Don't worry 'bout the sharks out in the<br>

Mekong bay<br>

The pirates taking us are more scary any<br>

day<br>

<br>

You just stay here and hide<br>

Don't show your face outside<br>

Take care of our little dear<br>

I will go "Engineer"<br>

<br>

(He runs out. In the street)<br>

<br>

If you want to die in bed<br>

Don't care to much for country<br>

Hit the open sea insead<br>

And float there like a cark<br>

Uncle Ho - Ho! Ho!<br>

I'll havre to call you from New York<br>

<br>
