(Eva:) To think that a man as
famous as you are Could love a poor little nothing like
me
Chorus:
(Eva:) I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos
Aires, Big Apple (Eva's family:) She wants to be a part of B.A. Buenos
Aires, Big Apple
(Che:) Just listen to that, they're on to you
Magaldi I'd get out while you can
(Eva:) It's happened at last, I'm
starting to get started I'm moving out with my man
(Magaldi:) Now
Eva don't get carried away
(Eva:) Monotony past, suburbia
departed Who could ever be fond of the back of
beyond?
(Magaldi:) Don't hear words that I didn't say
(Eva's
family:) What's that? You'd desert the girl you
love?
(Magaldi:) The girl I love? What are you talking
about?
(Eva's family:) She really brightened up your out-of-town
engagement She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract You must
be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far
(Eva:) I wanna
be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple
Would I have done what I
did If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known We would stay
together
(Eva's brother:) Seems to me there's no point in
resisting She's made up her mind, you've no choice Why don't you be the
man who discovered her You'll never be remembered for your
voice
(Magaldi:) The city can be paradise for those who have the
cash The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash The
likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash If you were rich or
middle class ...
(Eva:) Screw the middle classes! I will never accept
them! My father's other family were middle class And we were kept out of
sight, hidden from view at his funeral.
(Eva's brother:) Do all your
one night stands give you this trouble?
(Magaldi:) Eva beware of the
city It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad Those who are
fools are swallowed up whole And those who are not become what they should
not become Changed, in short, they go bad.
(Eva:) Bad is good for
me I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored I've only been predictable,
respectable Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't
I? I only want variety, of
society
(chorus)
(Magaldi:) Five years from now I
shall come back And finally say, "You have your way, come to town." But
you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes The magical city, a younger girl's
city A fantasy long since put down
(Eva:) All you've done to me,
was that a young girl's fantasy? I played your city games alright, didn't
I? I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks I tasted
it last night, didn't I?
I'm gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big
Apple
(Eva and family:) She's gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires,
Big Apple
(Magaldi:) Eva beware your ambition It's hungry and cold,
can't be controlled, will run wild This in a man is danger enough, but you
are a woman Not even a woman, not very much more than a child And
whatever you say, I'll not steal you away
