Backstage Dreamland (Live West-End Revival)

by Rachelle Ann Go

[Girls]
One of us will be Miss Saigon

[Engineer]
I 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 GI's disappear

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

[Engineer]
You girls must trust your Engineer!

I have a little surprise for you
[Aside] Come here

I found this new girl from the country, untouched
Get her ready!

[Gigi]
I'd give that virgin act a rest

[Girls, mocking]
You are my first American

[Engineer]
Allez! Allez! Allez!
Why does it take all day?
Get your asses on stage

[Engineer]
They say Saigon has weeks

[Engineer]
Each day these little buns of theirs are worth less and less
I need a visa fast, and I'm not looking back

Son of b*tch they're here
I can still engineer

(spoken)
Monsieur Tony, please come inside

[Engineer]
One of these boys might be your ticket out

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

A virgin will give them a treat
[aside, shouted] Shut up!
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 to long

Voila! On-stage all!
Welcome to,
Dreamland!
