What A Waste

Miss Saigon

A street filled with vendors in Patpong in Bangkok, outside a sleazy night-club called "Le 
Moulin Rouge" where the ENGINEER is doorman and barker. Other DOORMEN compete 
with him for the attention of crowds of TOURISTS.)

TOURISTS

ENGINEER 
what a waste! 
to pay for my keep 
I'm rounding up sheep 
to fleece here in Bangkok 

I'm disgraced 
I can't get ahead 
there's nothing as dead 
as peace here in Bangkok 

ten cents an hour, and I stand all day 
I could sell Kim for ten times my pay 

(to some TOURISTS) 

if you're looking for fun 
original sin 
if you want to put out 
then you gotta come in

ENGINEER 
I'm depressed 
for hustling amours 
to Japanese tours 
is no treat in Bangkok 

I'm the best 
but where's a Marine 
with fistfuls of green 
I'd cheat him in Bangkok 

ten cents an hour... 

(The CLUB OWNER, the ENGINEER'S boss, passes.)

look how they're ripping off... refugees
