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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:55] Businessmen never rob banks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:46] The American dream

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

[00:01:56] The American dream

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

[00:02:06] My American dream

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

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

[00:02:20] Luck by the tail

[00:02:24] How can I fail

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

[00:02:30] The American dream

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:06] The American dream

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

[00:03:15] The American dream

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

[00:03:23] The American dream

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

[00:03:32] The American dream

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

[00:03:40] The American dream

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

[00:03:48] The American dream

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

[00:03:55] The American dream

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

[00:04:02] The American dream

[00:04:07] Shlitz down the drain

[00:04:11] Pop the Champagne

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

[00:04:16] My American dream

[00:04:28] Girls

[00:04:41] What else

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

[00:04:44] Oh yes

[00:04:45] Boys

[00:04:48] Come on champagne

[00:04:49] Come on now Americans

[00:04:54] Come on ladies

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

[00:05:29] The American dream

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

[00:05:36] The American dream

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

[00:05:44] The American dream

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

[00:05:51] The American dream

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

[00:05:59] The American dream

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

[00:06:06] The American dream

[00:06:11] There I will crown

[00:06:14] Miss Chinatown

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

[00:06:20] The American dream
