Lyrics Kim & Engineer (Live From The Prince Edward Theatre, London / 2014) - Original Cast: Miss Saigon / London / 2014, Eva Noblezada & Jon Jon Briones

Kim: Engineer, Thuy's dead, he was going to kill my baby and I shot
Engineer: You did what?! who is that? you'd be followed get him outta here, goodbye!
Kim: we must leave, Tam and I.
We must set out to America tonight
Engineer: Oh right! just like that.
Tell me how, and while you're at it, tell me why?
Kim: I hear the voice of my soldier telling me to bring his son
Engineer: You're telling me this half-breed rat
Is born a son of a marine
Let me see his western nose
This bastard is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen
A passport in my hand
My new life can begin
Your brat's american
So they must let us in
In... the playground of mankind
The movie in my mind
I'm your dear brother from now on
And all our family is gone
Boy! Kiss your brand new uncle Tran
This kid is ok
He is our entree
To the U.S.A

With these to little diamonds to bait my hooks
I'll book us on a cruise
Boat people deluxe
Don't worry 'bout sharks out in the Mekong bay
The pirates taking us are more scary any day

You just stay here and hide
Don't show your face outside
Take care of our little dear
I will go engineer

If you wanna die in bed
Don't care too much for country
Hit the open sea instead
And float there like a cark
Yeah, why not?
Uncle Ho... Ho ho ho ho ho
I'll have to call you from New York!
