(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 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 forties So you've just acquired an ally
who Looks as secure in his job as you (Aide #2:) But more important
current political thought is Your wife's a phenomenal asset, your trump
card
Chorus:
(Peron and Aides:) Let's hear it for the
Rainbow Tour It's been an incredible success We 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 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
don't like to spoil a wonderful story But the news from Rome isn't quite as
good She hasn't gone down like they thought she would Italy's unconvinced
by Argentine glory They 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
mistake I'm 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 wouldn't say the Holy Father
gave her the bird But 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 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 Rainbow's
starting to fade I 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 parade Some 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? But the
answer is (Aide #2:) Yes (Aide #1:) Yes (Aide #2:) Yes
