The Heat Is On In Saigon Lyrics

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

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

I gotta get my friend laid as a last souvenir

I love you, pal, but your bullsh*t
I've had up to here

The heat is on in Saigon

But 'til they tell us we're gone
I'm gonna buy you a girl


You can buy me a beer

See my bikini, it's just the right size

Don't you enjoy how it rides up my thighs?
Look from behind, it'll knock out your eyes

I'll show you: my special trophy of war

For a Marine, I'll show more

You won't get up off the floor
The heat is on in Saigon
Don't tell me I'm reassigned, all that chickensh*t sucks
Tonight I'm out of my mind, not to mention ten bucks

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

You buy more tickets from me
The winner gets her for free


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

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

Good Jesus, John, who is she?

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

Tonight I bet that you and I will get along
Forget about the threat, forget the Viet-Cong

Mimi, Gigi, Yvette or Yvonne
Gonna buy me a beer, and elect Miss Saigon

Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi

Attention, s'il vous plait!
By popular demand
Miss Gigi Van Tranh
Is elected Miss Saigon!

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

And now who wins this pussycat?

Number 66!
