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 doesnt matter much
Aide 1
Shes our lady of the new world with a golden touch
Aide 2
She filled a bull-ring, forty-five thousand seater
Che
But if youre prettier than General Franco, thats not hard
Aide 1
Francos reign in Spain should see out the forties
So youve just acquired an ally who
Looks as secure in his job as you
Aide 2
But more important current political thought is
Your wifes a phenomenal asset, your trump card
Peron and Aides
Lets hear it for the Rainbow Tour
Its been an incredible success
We werent 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 dont like to spoil a wonderful story
But the news from Rome isnt quite as good
She hasnt gone down like they thought she would
Italys unconvinced by Argentine glory
They equate Peron with Mussolini, cant think why
Eva
Did you hear that? They called me a whore!
They actually called me a whore!
Italian admiral
But Signora Peron its an easy mistake
Im 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 wouldnt say the Holy Father gave her the bird
But papal decorations, never a hope
Aide 1
She still looked the part at St. Peters, caught the eye
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 Rainbows starting to fade
I dont think shell make it to England now
Aide 1
It wasnt on the schedule anyhow
Che
Youd better get out the flags and fix a parade
Some kind of coming home in triumph is required
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
Aides Would Evita win through? But the answer is
Aide 2 Yes
Aide 1 Yes
Aide 2 Yes
