The Fall Of Saigon Lyrics
Officer
Sorry sergeant we must eccelerate
State department says we evacuate
The word is we must be out by dawn
Chris
Christ!
Officer
Sorry sergeant its straight from Washington
No one leaves the grounds now not anyone
As fast as we load the planes we're gone
Chris
But my girl's out there!
Marine Captian
OK keep quiet dont shout
the ambassador wont leave till everyones out
The choppers on their way theres room for you all
Marine
Their climbing over the wall
Get back!
Officers
Get back I tell you dont shout
the ambassador won't leave till everyones out
Marine
The ambassador just sent an order to freeze
Marine Captian
Thats It! No more Vietnamese
Get in!
Chris
But my girl's out there!
Kim
Im the wife of a soldier
Please let me through!
Help me who must i pay
Tell me what i must do
Chris
Let me out, i got to go back for my bride
Kim
Listen someone!
My husband is waithing inside!
Chris
Please Kim, hear the phone
I cant get there, please be home
Kim
Please Chris, no one sees!
I am lost here. Find me please!
Both
Please, get me through -
I don't care how
Don't take my love away, not now!
Kim & Chris
Oh, Chris, Oh, Kim
I can't get free Please get free
Still I'm with you I am with you
Wait for me Wait for me
The Marine Captian
Sorry Sergeant, inside the Embassy!
We are pulling out now and there will be
No more reprives
Chris
I got till the old man leaves!
John
Chris, don't be a schmuck -
Th' Ambassador is leaving now
One Vietnamese
Take me with you
Take my children
Another
I have a letter from...!
Another
I helped the C.I.A.!
Crowd
They'll kill who they find here!
Don't leave us behind here!
A Vietnamese
I've a wife who left already
Another
I've an aunt in New York!
Another
I have gold, I can pay!
Crowd
There is no one left to find here!
They have left us all behind here!
Kim
I must get in there - Listen, anyone!
Please tell my husband...Look, I have his gun!
A Vietnamese
Out of my way, if that's all you've got
Crowd
If I am here when they come, I'll be shot!
Chris
Let me go, John,
I can't leave her
Why in the world should I be saved
instead of her!
Crowd
They'll kill who they find here
Don't leave us behind here!
John
It's not you
It's war that cruel
And if some dreams get smashed
Perhaps it's best if they were
Crowd and Kim
There is no one to find here!
They have left us behind here!
John
Wake up, my friend
Your mercy trip has failed
There's nothing you can do,
That ship has sailed
She's not the only one
We'll have betrayed
Crowd
Get to the roof,
Or else we are betrayed!
Kim
Oh Chris
I still believe!
The heart of you
Is here with me
My heart against all odds,
Holds still
