(Che:) In June of forty-three
there was a military coup Behind it was a gang called the G.O.U. Who did
not feel the need to be elected
They had themselves a party at the point
of a gun They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun A bomb or two
and very few objected
Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like
flies, kapow, die They stumble and fall, bye bye Backs to the wall, aim
high We're having a ball The tank and bullet rule as democracy
dies
The lady's got potential, she was setting her sights On making it
in movies with her name in lights The greatest social climber since
Cinderella
OK, she couldn't act but she had the right friends And we
all know a career depends On knowing the right fella to be
stellar
Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow,
die They stumble and fall, bye bye Backs to the wall, aim high We're
having a ball That's how we get the government we deserve
Now the man
behind the President calling the shots Involved so discreetly in a lot of
their plots Was Colonel Juan Peron, would be dictator
He began in the
army out in Italy so Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row I reckon
he'd do likewise sooner or later
Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas
falls like rain, kapow, die They haven't a chance, bye bye The terrorists
advance But one guy doesn't dirty his hands Peron was biding time out in
the slow lane
Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan,
kapow, die They stumble and fall, bye bye Keep away from the wall But
one guy was having a ball The tragedy, a golden chance for Peron
He
organized a concert with incredible flair In aid of all the victims, such a
grand affair Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor
It was January
twenty-second, 1944 A night to remember, yeah, that's for sure For that's
the night that Peron first met Eva For that's the night that Peron first met
Eva
