The Heat Is On In Saigon

Claude-Michel Schönberg

    [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]
    Ah, Monsieur Chris! Monsieur John!
    You've come to win Miss Saigon

    [JOHN]
    I gotta get my friend laid as a last souvenir

    [CHRIS]
    I love you, pal, but your bullshit
    I've had up to here

    [ENGINEER, CHRIS AND JOHN]
    The heat is on in Saigon

    [JOHN]
    But 'til they tell us we're 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

    Continues after the ad

    [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
    I used to love getting stoned, waking up with some whore
    I don't know why I went dead, it's not fun anymore

    [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 (AND CROWD)]
    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

    [ALL, INCLUDING GIRLS]
    Tonight I bet that you and I will get along
    Forget about the threat, forget the Viet-Cong

    [ALL MEN]
    Mimi, Gigi, Yvette or Yvonne
    Gonna buy me a beer, and elect Miss Saigon

    [ENGINEER]
    Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi

    [GIGI wins]

    [ENGINEER]
    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 good-bye party in hell

    [ENGINEER]
    And now who wins this pussycat?

    [GIGI]
    Number 66!
