Let Me See His Western Nose Lyrics - Miss Saigon

(KIM bursts into the ENGINEER's shack, carrying TAM) 

[KIM] 

Engineer! Thuy is dead! 

He was going to kill my baby and I shot 

[ENGINEER] 

You did what? Who is that? 

You'll be followed! Get him out of here! 

Goodbye! 

[KIM] 

We must leave! Tam and I! 

We must set off for America tonight 

[ENGINEER] 

Oh right! Just like that! 

Tell me how, and tell me 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 brat 

Is born the 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 you brand-new uncle Tran 

This kid is okay 

He is our entree 

To the U.S.A 

With these two little diamonds to bait 

My hooks 

I'll book us a cruise - "Boat-people" 

Deluxe 

Don't worry 'bout the 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" 

(He runs out. In the street) 

If you want to die in bed 

Don't care to much for country 

Hit the open sea instead 

And float there like a cark 

Uncle Ho - Ho! Ho! 

I'll have to call you from New York
