The Transaction (Live West End Revival)

[Engineer]
Hey, Monsieur John, how'd you like to get rich,
Go home in style?

[John]
Yeah, okay,
What's the pitch?

[Engineer]
A US visa to help me get out
Lend me a bit of your embassy clout

[John]
There isn't a chance pal, you're too well known.
Look, what I want is that girl, in the dress

[Engineer]
You have a good eye,
Her name is Kim, she's my new princess.
You give her a try?

[John]
My buddy, Chris,
It's like, something just snapped

[Engineer]
She's what he needs
She's got treasures untapped
But I have to warn you she don't come cheap

[John, spoken]
I've got that covered my man

[Engineer]
It's gotta be twenty, for my princess

[John]
Twenty for this shit?

She's sort of a virgin, well, more or less

For twenty more you get a room and key

You fucking with me?

For fifty bucks she's got the whole night free!
[Americans]
No one gives you a buzz like the Engineer does

[John]
Stop drooling white boy
You're losing your cool.
You like this jail-bait?

[Chris]
John open your eyes!
This is the end of the line
This whole rotten scene

This little girl we could be in the sack
And I'd take something I can't give back
John, JOHN,
It's time to go home
It's time to get clean

[John]
I'm starting to cry you're so out of touch
The trouble with you is you think too much
A whore is better than an empty bed
Man, you need some action to clear your head

[Americans]
Nothing gives you a hit like the Engineers shit

[Engineer, spoken]
That's right!

(sung)
My 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]
Please don't...

You said you needed a job
You said you'd turn a trick
You'd better prove it and quick!
[Kim]
Monsieur Chris

[Engineer, spoken]
Don't worry she's clean, I washed her myself
