Lyrics What a Waste (Live From The Prince Edward Theatre, London / 2014) - Original Cast: Miss Saigon / London / 2014 & Jon Jon Briones

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!

Girls! I got girls!
Gorgeous Girls!
Very nice!

Hey wow! Oh look! We gotta see!

Girls, gorgeous girls!

Gucci bags!

Shrimp and rice!

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

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!

If your looking for fun
Original sin?
If you want to put out
Then you gotta come in.

Girls! I got girls!

Gorgeous girls!

Very nice!

Girls!

(To TOURISTS)

Gee, isn't Bangkok really neat?

I got girls!

The things they're selling on the street

Girls!

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

Worth the price

A girl, or if you want, a boy

Hey
No?
Come to me
How about a nice present for your mother, huh?
First drink is free.
(To TWO JAPANESE TOURISTS)

Don't be a lump, you can hump
For a small extra fee
Hump. Humpy humpy, yeah?

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...

You said you'd fill my place up, where are they?
They're coming boss.
Just get to work... half-breed.
(The OWNER leaves)
...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

Girls!

Hey boys, don't stand around like wimps

I got girls!

Watch out, those guys - They're really
Pimps

Girls!

You want a thrill come on and grab it

Half the price

Three girls, two gerbils and a rabbit
(Unfolding folders of photos)

You don't like rabbit? We've got German Shepherd too... and squirrel.
Hey. What's it mean? Look what you'll see!

Hey, that's a joke. Mine blow smoke
For a small extra fee

Acid, Marijuana and hash

We'll get you high in a flash

Let's go see what they mean

Chicken, lemon grass and bamboo

We want to try something new!

Come do the ping pong routine!

Hey Joe, try taking a little excursion
You'll feel good from a little perversion

OH YEAH!

Massage requiring total immersion

OH WOW!

Some strange positions say me are persian

OH! NO!

Drinks are on me
First girl is free
What can I say? You get me
For a small extra fee

Acid, Marijuana and hash

We'll get you high in a flash

Let's go see what they mean

Chicken, lemon grass and bamboo

We want to try something new!

Come do the ping pong routine!
