What's new Buenos Aires?
|
I'm new--I want to say I'm just a little stuck on you
|
You'll be on me too!
|
I get out here Buenos Aires
|
Stand back--you ought to know what'cha gonna get in me
|
Just a little touch of star quality!
|
Fill me up with your heat, with your noise, with your dirt, overdo me
|
Let me dance to your beat, make it loud. let it hurt, run it through me
|
Don't hold back you are certain to impress
|
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying
|
Hello Buenos Aires!
|
Get this--just look at me, dressed up somewhere to go
|
We'll put on a show!
|
Take me in at your flood, give me speed, give me lights, set me humming
|
Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up with your nights, watch me coming
|
All I want is a whole lot of excess
|
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing
|
Stand back Buenos Aires!
|
Because you ought to know what'cha gonna get in me
|
Just a little touch of star quality!
|
And if ever I go too far
|
It's because of the things you are
|
Beautiful town--I love you
|
And if I need a moment's rest
|
Give your lover the very best
|
Real eiderdown--and silence

On the 9th February 1935, in Buenos Aires--a polo
|
|
match, between a team of leading Argentine players and
|
the touring British side. The British ambassador said he
|
had never seen a social occasion quite like it. Even by the
|
standards of Buenos Aires society the gathering at the
|
polo ground glittered. The Rolls' and the Daimlers, the
|
hampers from Harrod's, the clothes, the diamonds, the
|
crystal, the wines, the procession of nannies from
|
England and France. The result of the match? Oh yes--
|
the home team won, but as the British ambassador
|
pointed out, that did not reflect badly on British
|
horsemanship. Three of the Argentine players were
|
educated at Eton.

You're a tramp, you're a treat, you will shine to the death, you are shoddy
|
But you're flesh, you are meat, you shall have every breath in my body
|
Put me down for a lifetime of success
|
Give me credit--I'll find ways of paying
|
Rio de la Plata! Florida! Corrientes! Nueve de Julio!
|
All I want to know!
|
Stand back Buenos Aires!
|
Because you oughta know what'cha gonna get in me
|
Just a little touch of
|
Just a little touch of
|
Just a little touch of star quality!
