Girls
One of us girls is moving on
One girl will get out of saigon

Girls

And Elvis Presley on cassettes

(Kim and Chris enter)

Girls
Look how he bought her a new dress
You did a job on him I guess

Kim
He simply asked me
I said, "yes"

Girls
Come on, let's bless the new princess

Dju vui vay
Yu doi my
Dju vui vay
Vao nyay moy

Kim
Will you forgive me if I smile today
Look with favoring eyes on this man
Show you daughter's heart
your forgiveness
And send to us
From your home above
Your blessing on your love

Girls, Kim (echoing)
Dju vui vay -- dju vui vay
Yu doi my -- yu doi my

Girls
Dju vui vay

Chris
It's pretty but what does it mean?

Girls
Yu doi my

Kim
It's what all the girls sing at weddings

(Chris looks up, startled)

Girls
Dju vui vay

Kim
They didn't know what else to sing

Girls
Vao nyay moy

Chris
It's the prettiest thing that I've ever
heard.

(Friends arrive carrying beer and a platter of food.
The party gathers around the bed, and GIGI leads a toast to KIM.)

Gigi
To Miss Saigon!
