Lyrics
The heat is on in Saigon
The girls are ready to screw
One of these slits here will be Miss Saigon
And since we're stuck here in hell what's a soldier to do?
This stink is making me choke
Turns out this war is a joke
Turns out the joke is on you
Hey! Monsieur Chris! Monsieur John!
You've come to win Miss Saigon? You got it
I gotta get my friend laid as a last souvenir
I love you, pal, but your bullshit
I've had up to here
It's about time you get laid
The heat is on in Saigon
But 'til they tell us we're gone
I'm gonna buy you a girl
You can buy me a beer
It's showtime
From Haiphong to the Mekong Delta
May I present the most beautiful girls in Saigon
Mimi
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
Oh you all know her as the sex toy from Hanoi, Miss Gigi Van Tranh
If I'm your pin-up, I'll melt all your brass
Stuck on your ball, 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 more 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
How about something fresh from the country? Untouched! Legs un-parted, parts uncharted, Kim
I'm seventeen, and I'm new here today
The village I come from seems so far away
All of the girls here know much more what to say
But I know
I'm so much more than you see
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 our last shot got to put it to use
I've got a fever, babe you're gonna catch it
I've got an itch and baby you better scratch it
Mimi, Gigi, Yvette or Yvonne
Gonna buy me a beer, here's to you in Saigon
Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi
Attention, s'il vous plait!
By popular demand
Miss Gigi Van Tranh
Is tonights Miss Saigon!
The heat is on in Saigon
How we get used to the smell?
So lets get wasted, get high and get laid
A good-bye party in hell
And now who wins this pussycat?
Number 66!
Who takes care of you baby?
You do, but will you take me to America
Oh come on not right now
Hey, I'll make a good wife
I said no
You prick
No no no, I'll take care of this - this is bullshit
Don't fuck with me
It's okay it's Gigi, she likes it rough you know that
Come on drink some more, play with your girls
