The Heat Is On in Saigon Lyrics by Original London Cast of Miss Saigon

Miss Saigon (Original London Cast Recording)

0

[AMERICANS]
The heat is on in Saigon
The girls are hotter 'n' hell
One of these slits here will be Miss Saigon
God, the tension is high, not to mention the smell
The heat is on in Saigon
Is there a war going on?
Don't ask, I ain't gonna tell
[ENGINEER]
How are you doing there, John?
[JOHN]
Chris, I got the hots for Yvonne
We should get drunk and get laid
Since the end is so near
[CHRIS]
Oh, I tell you, buddy, I've had it
I don't wanna hear
[JOHN, spoken]
Get out of here
[JOHN]
The heat is on in Saigon
But till they tell me I'm gone
I'm gonna buy you a girl
[CHRIS]
You can buy me a beer
[MIMI]
See my bikini, it's just the right size
[YVETTE]
Don't you enjoy how it rides up my thighs?
Look from behind, it'll knock out your eyes
[YVONNE]
I'll show you my special trophy of war
[MIMI]
For a Marine, I'll show more
[AMERICANS]
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
[GIGI]
If I'm your pin-up, I'll melt all your brass
Stuck on your wall with a pin in my ass
If you get me, you will travel first class
I'll show you, we will make magic, cheri
[ENGINEER]
You buy more tickets from me
The winner gets her for free
[CHRIS]
The meat is cheap in Saigon
Why can't I just play the game?
We lost the war long ago
What is this bug up my ass?
You tell me, I don't know
[KIM]
I'm seventeen and I'm new here today
The village I come from seems so far away
All of the girls know much more what to say
But I know I have a heart like the sea
A million dreams are in me
[CHRIS]
Good Jesus, John, who is she?
[AMERICANS]
The Cong is tight'ning the noose
Is it a week or a day or an hour we got?
Tonight could be out last shot
Got to put it to use
[AMERICANS & GIRLS]
Tonight I bet that you and I will get along
Forget about the threat, forget the Viet Cong
[AMERICANS]
Mimi, Gigi, Yvette or Yvonne
Gonna buy me a beer and elect Miss Saigon
[ENGINEER, spoken]
Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi
Attention, s'il vous plait
By popular demand
Miss Gigi Van Tranh is elected Miss Saigon
[AMERICANS]
The heat is on in Saigon
And things are not going well
But still at midnight the party goes on
A goodbye party in hell
[ENGINEER, spoken]
And now who wins her?
[GIGI, spoken]
Number sixty-six!
