The American Dream - Miss Saigon International Cast[00:00:00]

Written by：Claude-Michel Schönberg[00:00:00]

My father was a tattoo artist in Haiphong[00:00:02]

But his designs on mother didn't last too long[00:00:07]

My mother sold her body high on Betel nuts[00:00:12]

My job was bringing red-faced monsieurs to our huts[00:00:17]

Selling your mom is a wrench[00:00:22]

Perfume can cover a stench[00:00:24]

That's what I learned from the French[00:00:27]

Then it all changed with Dien Bien Phu[00:00:34]

The frogs went home Who came Guess who [00:00:39]

Are you surprised we went insane[00:00:45]

With dollars pouring down like rain [00:00:50]

Businessmen never rob banks[00:00:55]

I can sell sh*t and get thanks[00:00:57]

That's what I learned from the Yanks[00:01:00]

I'm fed up with small-time hustles[00:01:05]

I'm too good to waste my talent for greed[00:01:10]

I need room to flex my muscles[00:01:15]

In an ocean where the big sharks feed[00:01:21]

Make me Yankee they're my family[00:01:26]

They're selling what people need[00:01:32]

What's that I smell in the air[00:01:42]

The American dream[00:01:46]

Sweet as a new millionaire[00:01:52]

The American dream[00:01:56]

Pre-packed ready-to-wear[00:02:02]

My American dream[00:02:06]

Fat like a chocolate eclair[00:02:11]

As I suck out the cream[00:02:15]

Luck by the tail[00:02:20]

How can I fail [00:02:24]

And best of all it's for sale[00:02:27]

The American dream[00:02:30]

Greasy chinks make life so sleazy[00:02:35]

In the States I'll have a club that's four-starred[00:02:38]

Men like me there have things easy[00:02:42]

I have a lawyer and a body-guard[00:02:45]

To the Johns there I'll sell blondes there[00:02:49]

That they can charge on a card[00:02:52]

What's that I smell in the air [00:03:02]

The American dream[00:03:06]

Sweet as a suite in Bel-air[00:03:11]

The American dream[00:03:15]

Girls can buy tits by the pair[00:03:20]

The American dream[00:03:23]

Bald people think they'll grow hair[00:03:29]

The American dream[00:03:32]

Call girls are lining time square[00:03:37]

The American dream[00:03:40]

Bums there have money to spare[00:03:45]

The American dream[00:03:48]

Cars that have bars take you there[00:03:53]

The American dream[00:03:55]

On stage each night: Fred Astaire[00:04:00]

The American dream[00:04:02]

Shlitz down the drain [00:04:07]

Pop the Champagne [00:04:11]

It's time we all entertain[00:04:14]

My American dream [00:04:16]

Girls[00:04:28]

What else[00:04:41]

What do you think ladies[00:04:42]

Oh yes[00:04:44]

Boys[00:04:45]

Come on champagne[00:04:48]

Come on now Americans[00:04:49]

Come on ladies[00:04:54]

Come everyone come and share[00:05:26]

The American dream[00:05:29]

Name what you want and it's there[00:05:34]

The American dream[00:05:36]

Spend and have money to spare[00:05:42]

The American dream[00:05:44]

Live like you haven't a care[00:05:49]

The American dream[00:05:51]

What other place can compare[00:05:56]

The American dream[00:05:59]

Come and get more than your share[00:06:04]

The American dream[00:06:06]

There I will crown[00:06:11]

Miss Chinatown[00:06:14]

All yours for ten percent down[00:06:18]

The American dream[00:06:20]
