Lyrics The Transaction - Live - Miss Saigon Original Cast feat. Jon Jon Briones, Hugh Maynard & Alistair Brammer

Hey Monsieur John, how'd you like to get rich?
Go home in style?

Yeah, ok, what's the pitch?

A US visa to help me get out
Lend me a bit of your embassy clout

There isn't a chance, pal
You're too well known
Look, what I want is the girl, in the dress

You have a good eye, her name is Kim
She's my new princess
You give her a try!

My buddy Chris, it's like, uh
Something just snapped

She's what he needs
She's got treasures, untapped
But I have to warn you
She don't come cheap

I've got that covered, my man

It's gotta be twenty
For my princess
(Twenty for this shit?)
She's sort of a virgin
Well, more or less
For twenty more you get a room and key
(Man, you fucking with me?)
For fifty bucks she's got the whole night free

No one gives you a buzz like the engineer does

Stop drooling white boy
You're loosing your cool
You'll like this jailbait

John, open your eyes!
This is the end of the line
This whole rotten scene
This little girl, we could be in the sack
And I would take something
I can't give back
John! It's time to go home
It's time to get clean

I'm starting to cry
You're so out of touch
The trouble with you is you think too much
A whore is better than an empty bed
Man, you need some action to clear your head

Nothing gives you a hit like the engineer's shit
(That's right)

My little princess, I was right
You are the first to score tonight
You caught that sergeant by the nose
You stay with him until he goes

Call him Chris, he'll like that
(Please-)
You said you needed a job!
You said you'd turn a trick!
You better prove it, and quick!

Monsieur Chris!

Don't worry, she's clean
I washed her myself
