Alain Boublil - Overture Backstage Dreamland Lyrics

[GIRLS]
One of us will be Miss Saigon

[ENGINEER]
I've spread the word it's Miss Saigon

[GIGI]
Who's left in town who hasn't gone?

[ENGINEER]
Shut up and get your hot pants on

[MIMI]
Each day more G.I.'s disappear

[GIGI]
Will we survive when no one's here?

[ENGINEER, spoken]
You girls must trust your Engineer
I have a little surprise for you
Come here
I found this new girl
From the country, untouched
Get her ready!
[GIGI]
I'd give that virgin act a rest

[GIRLS]
"You are my first American"

[ENGINEER]
Allez! Allez! Allez!
Why does it take all day?
Get your asses on stage
I'm raising cash tonight

[GIRLS]
One of us will be Miss Saigon

[ENGINEER]
They say Saigon has weeks
I say it's time to pack

[GIRLS]
Tonight I must be Miss Saigon

[ENGINEER]
Each night this little buns of theirs are worth less and less
I need a visa fast, and I'm not looking back
Son of a bitch, they're here
I can still engineer
[ENGINEER, spoken]
Monsieur Tony, please come inside

[ENGINEER]
It's like the old days, my little gamines

[GIRLS]
Oh sure!

[ENGINEER]
Just look who's in there
A gang of marines

[GIRLS]
They're here

[ENGINEER]
We'll pick 'em clean
That's what tonight's all about

[GIRLS]
Bullshit!

[ENGINEER]
One of these boys might be your ticket out
[Turns to KIM.]

Get out of that dress!
Wait, it's my new princess

Ah, yes
A virgin will give them a treat

[ENGINEER, spoken]
Shut up!

[ENGINEER]
Lower your eyelids and play sweet
Men pay the moon to get fresh meat

Allez! Allez! Allez!
Line up and do your song
Don't make the show too long
Voila!
On stage all!
Welcome to Dreamland!
