The dance Songtext

von Miss Saigon

JOHN has seen CHRIS'S interest in KIM and goes off to buy her for the night from the
ENGINEER as a surprise for his friend.)

(Across the room, the ENGINEER speaks to KIM.)

ENGINEER
See 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

KIM
That marine
Wants his beer

ENGINEER
You said you needed a job
You said you'd turn a trick
You'd better prove it, and quick!

(he leads KIM to CHRIS)

(A MARINE begins to play the saxophone. CHRIS and KIM start to dance. For a long time
They don't speak. Finally:)

KIM
My name is Kim

(trying to do her job)

I like you Chris

ENGINEER
What's going on?
You don't like her?

CHRIS
Oh, yes I do

KIM
I like him too

ENGINEER
Take her away
KIM
Take me away
Don't say a word
Just come with me
