Backstage At Dreamland
(A Friday night in April 1975. Backstage at an after-hours club in Saigon. Vietnamese bar-girls are getting into costumes.)
GIRLS one of us will be Miss Saigon
ENGINEER I spread the word - it's Miss Saigon
GIGI who's left to screw who hasn't gone
ENGINEER shut up! and get your hot pants on
GIGI each day more GI's disappear
ENGINEER there's still some left and they'll all be here
ALL GIRLS a girl can trust the Engineer
(THE ENGINEER brings in a new girl, KIM)
ENGINEER surprise! I found this new girl, get her dressed from the country untouched
GIGI just give that virgin act a rest
ALL GIRLS (mocking the new girl) 'you are my first American'
(they laugh)
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 they say Saigon has weeks I say it's time to pack Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
GIRLS tonight I will be Miss Saigon
ENGINEER each day these little buns of theirs are worth less and less I need a visa fast, and I'm not looking back
(the ENGINEER looks through the door into the club.)
ENGINEER son of a bitch, they're here! I can still engineer it's like the old days, my little gamines
GIRLS oh sure!
ENGINEER you know who's out here? a gang of marines!
GIRLS they're here?
ENGINEER we'll pick 'em clean that's what this contest's about
GIRLS yes, sir!
ENGINEER one of these boys might be your ticket out
(turns to KIM)
why is she in that dress? ah! it's my new princess ah, yes! a bride will give the guys a treat lower your eyelids and play sweet men pay the moon to get fresh meat
allez! allez! allez! get out and do your song! don't make the show too long
