[Eva:]
|
To think that a man as famous as you are
|
Could love a poor little nothing like me
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
[Eva:]
|
I wanna be a part of B.A.
|
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
|
[Eva's family:]
|
She wants to be a part of B.A.
|
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
|
|
[Che:]
|
Just listen to that, they're on to you Magaldi
|
I'd get out while you can
|
|
[Eva:]
|
It's happened at last, I'm starting to get started
|
I'm moving out with my man
|
|
[Magaldi:]
|
Now Eva don't get carried away
|
|
[Eva:]
|
Monotony past, suburbia departed
|
Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond?
|
|
[Magaldi:]
|
Don't hear words that I didn't say
|
|
[Eva's family:]
|
What's that? You'd desert the girl you love?
|
|
[Magaldi:]
|
The girl I love?
|
What are you talking about?
|
|
[Eva's family:]
|
She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement
|
She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract
|
You must be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far
|
|
[Eva:]
|
I wanna be a part of B.A.
|
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
|
|
Would I have done what I did
|
If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known
|
We would stay together
|
|
[Eva's brother:]
|
Seems to me there's no point in resisting
|
She's made up her mind, you've no choice
|
Why don't you be the man who discovered her
|
You'll never be remembered for your voice
|
|
[Magaldi:]
|
The city can be paradise for those who have the cash
|
The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash
|
The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash
|
If you were rich or middle class...
|
|
[Eva:]
|
Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!
|
My father's other family were middle class
|
And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.
|
|
[Eva's brother:]
|
Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?
|
|
[Magaldi:]
|
Eva beware of the city
|
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad
|
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
|
And those who are not become what they should not become
|
Changed, in short, they go bad.
|
|
[Eva:]
|
Bad is good for me
|
I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored
|
I've only been predictable, respectable
|
Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I?
|
I only want variety, of society
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
[Magaldi:]
|
Five years from now I shall come back
|
And finally say, "You have your way, come to town."
|
But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes
|
The magical city, a younger girl's city
|
A fantasy long since put down
|
|
[Eva:]
|
All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy?
|
I played your city games alright, didn't I?
|
I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks
|
I tasted it last night, didn't I?
|
|
I'm gonna be a part of B.A.
|
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
|
|
[Eva and family:]
|
She's gonna be a part of B.A.
|
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
|
|
[Magaldi:]
|
Eva beware your ambition
|
It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild
|
This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman
|
Not even a woman, not very much more than a child
|
And whatever you say, I'll not steal you away
|
