Musicals - Evita - Rainbow Tour Lyrics
[Peron:]People of Europe, I send you the Rainbow of Argentina[Che:]Spain has fallen to the charms of EvitaShe 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 fortiesSo you've just acquired an ally whoLooks as secure in his job as you[Aide #2:]But more important current political thought isYour wife's a phenomenal asset, your trump card[Chorus:][Peron and Aides:]Let's hear it for the Rainbow TourIt's been an incredible successWe 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 soMakes no difference where she goesThe whole world over just the sameJust listen to them call her nameAnd who would underestimate the actress now?[Che:]Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful storyBut the news from Rome isn't quite as goodShe hasn't gone down like they thought she wouldItaly's unconvinced by Argentine gloryThey 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 mistakeI'm still called an admiralYet I gave up the sea long ago[Aide #2:]More bad news from Rome; she met with the PopeShe only got a rosary, a kindly word[Che:]I wouldn't say the Holy Father gave her the birdBut 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 FranceShining like a sun through the post-war hazeA beautiful reminder of the care-free daysShe nearly captured the French, she sure had the chanceBut she suddenly seemed to lose interestShe looked tired[Che:]Face the facts, the Rainbow's starting to fadeI 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 paradeSome 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?
