Musicals - Evita - Peron's Latest Flame Lyrics
[Che:] At the watering holes of the well-to-doI detect a resistance to[Aristocrats:] Precisely[Che:] Our heroine's style[Aristocrats:] We're glad you noticed[Che:] The shooting sticks of the upper-class[Aristocrats:] Give her an inch[Che:] Aren't supporting a single assThat would rise for the girl[Aristocrats:] She'll take a mile[Aristocrats:]Such a shame she wandered into our enclosureHow unfortunate this person has forced us to be bluntNo we wouldn't mind seeing her at Harrod'sBut behind the jewelry counter, not in front[Che:] Could there be in our fighting corpsA lack of enthusiasm for[Army:] Exactly[Che:] Peron's latest flame[Army:] You said it brother[Che:]Should you wish to cause great distressIn the tidiest officer's messJust mention her name[Army:]That isn't funnyPeron is a fool, breaking every tabooInstalling a girl in the army H.Q.And she's an actress, the last strawHer only good parts are between her thighsShe should stare at the ceiling, not reach for the skiesOr she could be his last whoreThe evidence suggestsShe has other interestsIf it's her who's using himHe's exceptionally dim*****! Dangerous Jade[Aristocrats:]We have allowed ourselves to slipWe have completely lost our gripWe have declined to an all-time lowTarts have become the set to know[Eva:]I am only a radio star with just one weekly showBut speaking as one of the people I want you to knowWe are tired of the decline of ArgentinaWith no sign of a government able to give us the things we deserve[Army:]It's no crime for officers to do as they pleaseAs long as they're discreet and keep clear of diseaseWe ignore, we disregardBut once they allow a bit on the sideTo move to the center where she's not qualifiedWe are forced to mark his cardShe should get into her headShe should not get out of bedShe should know that she's not paidTo be loud but to be laidSlut! Dangerous Jade[Che:]This has really been your year, Miss DuarteTell us where you go from here, Miss DuarteWhich are the roles that you yearn to play?Whom did you sleep ... dine with yesterday?[Eva:]Acting is limiting, the line's not mineThat's no help to the Argentine[Che:]Can we assume then that you'll quit?Is this because of your involvement with Colonel Peron?[Heavies:]Goodnight and thank you[Army:]She won't be kept happy by her nights on the tilesShe says it's his body, but she's after his filesSo get back on to the streetShe should get into her headShe should not get out of bedShe should know that she's not paidTo be loud but to be laidThe evidence suggestsShe has other interestsIf it's her who's using himHe's exceptionally dim[Aristocrats:]Things have reached a pretty passWhen someone pretty lower-classGraceless and vulgar, uninspiredCan be accepted and admired
