[Peron:]
|
People of Europe, I send you the Rainbow of Argentina
|
|
[Che:]
|
Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita
|
She can do what she likes, it doesn't matter much
|
[Aide #1:]
|
She's our lady of the new world with a golden touch
|
[Aide #2:]
|
She filled a bull-ring, forty-five thousand seater
|
[Che:]
|
But if you're prettier than General Franco, that's not hard
|
|
[Aide #1:]
|
Franco's reign in Spain should see out the forties
|
So you've just acquired an ally who
|
Looks as secure in his job as you
|
[Aide #2:]
|
But more important current political thought is
|
Your wife's a phenomenal asset, your trump card
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
[Peron and Aides:]
|
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
|
It's been an incredible success
|
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts
|
|
[Peron:] Will Evita win through?
|
[Aides:] But the answer is yes
|
|
[Peron:]
|
There you are, I told you so
|
Makes no difference where she goes
|
The whole world over just the same
|
Just listen to them call her name
|
And who would underestimate the actress now?
|
|
[Che:]
|
Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
|
But the news from Rome isn't quite as good
|
She hasn't gone down like they thought she would
|
Italy's unconvinced by Argentine glory
|
They equate Peron with Mussolini, can't think why
|
|
[Eva:]
|
Did you hear that? They called me a whore!
|
They actually called me a whore!
|
|
[Italian admiral:]
|
But Signora Peron it's an easy mistake
|
I'm still called an admiral
|
Yet I gave up the sea long ago
|
|
[Aide #2:]
|
More bad news from Rome; she met with the Pope
|
She only got a rosary, a kindly word
|
[Che:]
|
I wouldn't say the Holy Father gave her the bird
|
But papal decorations, never a hope
|
[Aide #1:]
|
She still looked the part at St. Peter's, caught the eye
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
[Peron:] Will Evita win through?
|
[Aides:] But the answer is...
|
[Che:] A qualified
|
[Aides:] Yes
|
|
[Che:]
|
Eva started well, no question, in France
|
Shining like a sun through the post-war haze
|
A beautiful reminder of the care-free days
|
She nearly captured the French, she sure had the chance
|
But she suddenly seemed to lose interest
|
She looked tired
|
|
[Che:]
|
Face the facts, the Rainbow's starting to fade
|
I don't think she'll make it to England now
|
|
[Aide #1:]
|
It wasn't on the schedule anyhow
|
|
[Che:]
|
You'd better get out the flags and fix a parade
|
Some kind of coming home in triumph is required
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
[Aide #2:] Would Evita win through?
|
[Aide #1:] And the answer is
|
[Aide #2:] Yes
|
[Che:] And no
|
[Aides:] And yes
|
[Che:] And no
|
[Aides:] And yes
|
[Che:] No
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
[Aides:] Would Evita win through? But the answer is
|
[Aide #2:] Yes
|
[Aide #1:] Yes
|
[Aide #2:] Yes
