What A Waste
Miss Saigon

[ENGINEER]

Check it out, red hot and blue!

Girls, girls, girls! Yo, yo, come here, come here!

Oh, please! What, I can't go across the street? What, wait a minute.

You wanna talk to me? You got a problem with me? Go to him!

[DOORMEN]

Girls! I got girls!

Gorgeous Girls!

Very nice!

[TOURISTS]

Hey wow! Oh look! We gotta see!

[VENDORS]

Girls, gorgeous girls!

[VENDORS]

Gucci bags!

[VENDORS]

Shrimp and rice!

[TOURISTS]

I'm glad my wife's not here with me

[ENGINEER]

What a waste

To pay for my keep

I'm rounding up sheep

To fleece here in Bangkok

I'm disgraced

I cant get ahead

There's nothing as dead

As peace here in Bangkok

Ten cents an hour - that's all they pay.

I'll have to swim to the USA

My future friends, my future neighbours!

(to some TOURISTS)

If your looking for fun

Original sin?

If you want to put out

Then you gotta come in.

(TOURISTS pass; he tries to make them take his leaflets)

[DOORMEN]

Girls! I got girls!

[DOORMEN]

Gorgeous girls!

[DOORMEN]

Very nice!

[DOORMEN]

Girls!

[ENGINEER]

(to TOURISTS)

Gee, isn't Bangkok really neat?

[DOORMEN]

I got girls!

[ENGINEER]

The things they're selling on the street

[DOORMEN]

Girls!

[ENGINEER]

Fresh dog, if that's what you'd enjoy

[DOORMEN]

Worth the price

[ENGINEER]

A girl, or if you want, a boy

[DOORMEN]

Hey

[ENGINEER]

No?

[DOORMEN]

Come to me

[ENGINEER]

How about a nice present for your mother, huh?

[DOORMEN]

First drink is free.

[ENGINEER]

(to TWO JAPANESE TOURISTS)

Don't be a lump, you can hump

For a small extra fee

Hump. Humpy humpy, yeah?

[ENGINEER]

I'm depressed

For hustling amours

To Japanese tours

Is no treat in Bangkok

I'm the best

But selling these runts

For sexual stunts

Leaves me beat in Bangkok.

Ten cents an hour...

(The CLUB OWNER, the ENGINEER's boss passes)

[BOSS]

You said you'd fill my place up, where are they?

[ENGINEER]

They're coming boss.

[BOSS]

Just get to work...half-breed.

(The OWNER leaves)

[ENGINEER]

...Screw the Siamese

Look how they're ripping off...refugees

(to another PASSER-BY)

If your looking for fun

Original sin

If you want to put out

Then you gotta come in

[DOORMEN]

Girls!

[ENGINEER]

Hey boys, don't stand around like wimps

[DOORMEN]

I got girls!

[ENGINEER]

Watch out, those guys - They're really

Pimps

[DOORMEN]

Girls!

[ENGINEER]

You want a thrill come on and grab it

[DOORMEN]

Half the price

[ENGINEER]

Three girls, two gerbils and a rabbit

(unfolding folders of photos)

You don't like rabbit? We've got German Shepherd too...and squirrel.

[DOORMEN]

Hey. What's it mean? Look what you'll see!

[ENGINEER]

Hey, that's a joke. Mine blow smoke

For a small extra fee

[VENDORS]

Acid, Marijuana and hash

[DOORMEN]

We'll get you high in a flash

[TOURISTS]

Let's go see what they mean

[VENDORS]

Chicken, lemon grass and bamboo

[TOURISTS]

We want to try something new!

[DOORMEN]

Come do the ping pong routine!

[ENGINEER]

Hey Joe, try taking a little excursion

You'll feel good from a little perversion

[TOURISTS]

OH YEAH!

[ENGINEER]

Massage requiring total immersion

[TOURISTS]

OH WOW!

[ENGINEER]

Some strange positions say me are persian

[TOURISTS]

OH! NO!

Drinks are on me

First girl is free

What can I say? You get me

For a small extra fee

[VENDORS]

Acid, Marijuana and hash

[DOORMEN]

We'll get you high in a flash

[TOURISTS]

Let's go see what they mean

[VENDORS]

Chicken, lemon grass and bamboo

[TOURISTS]

We want to try something new!

[DOORMEN]

Come do the ping pong routine!
