Miss Saigon movie - The Heat Is On In Saigon lyrics
rate me<br>
["Dreamland" is a club filled with American Marines,]<br>
[civilians and south Vietnamese officers. The girls parade]<br>
[around and get the crowd to buy raffle tickets:]<br>
[the winner of the "beauty contest" will be the prize.]<br>
<br>
[AMERICANS]<br>
The heat is on in Saigon <br>
The girls are hotter 'n' hell <br>
One of these slits here will be Miss Saigon <br>
God, the tension is high, not to mention the smell <br>
The heat is on in Saigon <br>
Is there a war going on? <br>
Don't ask, I ain't gonna tell <br>
<br>
[Two friends, CHRIS and JOHN, are among the Marines. JOHN is with one of the girls]<br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
Ah, Monsieur Chris! Monsieur John! <br>
You've come to win Miss Saigon <br>
<br>
[JOHN]<br>
I gotta get my friend laid as a last souvenir <br>
<br>
[CHRIS]<br>
I love you, pal, but your bullshit <br>
I've had up to here <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER, CHRIS AND JOHN]<br>
The heat is on in Saigon <br>
<br>
[JOHN]<br>
But 'til they tell us we're gone <br>
I'm gonna buy you a girl <br>
<br>
[CHRIS]<br>
You can buy me a beer <br>
<br>
[The girls leave the men and move onto the stage]<br>
<br>
[MIMI]<br>
See my bikini, it's just the right size <br>
<br>
[YVETTE]<br>
Don't you enjoy how it rides up my thighs? <br>
Look from behind, it'll knock out your eyes <br>
<br>
[YVONNE]<br>
I'll show you: my special trophy of war <br>
<br>
[MIMI]<br>
For a Marine, I'll show more <br>
<br>
[AMERICANS]<br>
You won't get up off the floor <br>
The heat is on in Saigon <br>
Don't tell me I'm reassigned, all that chickenshit sucks <br>
Tonight I'm out of my mind, not to mention ten bucks <br>
<br>
[GIGI]<br>
If I'm your pin-up, I'll melt all your brass <br>
Stuck on your wall, with a pin in my ass <br>
If you get me, you will travel first class <br>
I'll show you, we will make magic, cheri <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
You buy more tickets from me <br>
The winner gets her for free <br>
<br>
[CHRIS]<br>
The meat is cheap in Saigon <br>
I used to love getting stoned, waking up with some whore <br>
I don't know why I went dead, it's not fun anymore <br>
<br>
[KIM]<br>
I'm seventeen, and I'm new here today <br>
The village I come from seems so far away <br>
All of the girls know much more what to say <br>
But I know <br>
I have a heart like the sea <br>
A million dreams are in me <br>
<br>
[CHRIS]<br>
Good Jesus, John, who is she? <br>
<br>
[AMERICANS (AND CROWD)]<br>
The Cong is tight'ning the noose <br>
Is it a week or a day or an hour that we got? <br>
Tonight could be our last shot got to put it to use <br>
<br>
[The GIRLS come off the stage and mingle with the men.]<br>
<br>
[ALL, INCLUDING GIRLS]<br>
Tonight I bet that you and I will get along <br>
Forget about the threat, forget the Viet-Cong <br>
<br>
[ALL MEN]<br>
Mimi, Gigi, Yvette or Yvonne <br>
Gonna buy me a beer, and elect Miss Saigon <br>
<br>
[The ENGINEER holds the election by holding his hand over]<br>
[each girl's head for applause. When KIM is judged, CHRIS]<br>
[claps loudly, which makes her notice him.]<br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi <br>
<br>
[GIGI wins]<br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
Attention, s'il vous plait! <br>
By popular demand <br>
Miss Gigi Van Tranh <br>
Is elected Miss Saigon! <br>
<br>
[The ENGINEER puts a cheap tiara on GIGI and a ribbon which says "Miss Saigon".]<br>
<br>
[AMERICANS]<br>
The heat is on in Saigon <br>
And things are not going well <br>
But still at midnight, the party goes on <br>
A good-bye party in hell <br>
<br>
[ENGINEER]<br>
And now who wins this pussycat? <br>
<br>
[The ENGINEER holds a bowl; GIGI picks up a ticket.]<br>
<br>
[GIGI]<br>
Number 66! <br>
<br>
[It is one of the Marines. He cheers with his friends. The scene freezes.]<br>
<br>
