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
Advisor: She’s our lady of the new world with a golden touch
She filled a bullring 45,000 seater
Che: But if you’re prettier than General Franco
That’s not hard
Advisor: Franco’s reign in Spain should see out the ’40s
So you’ve just acquired an ally who
Looks as secure in his job as you
But more important current political thought is
Your wife’s a phenominal asset your trump card
All: Let’s hear it for the rainbow tour
It’s been an incredible success
We weren’t quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
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
Evita’s escort: But Senora Peron it’s an easy mistake
I’m still called an admiral yet I gave up the sea long ago
Advisor: 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
Advisor: She still looked the part in St. Peters
Caught the eye
All: Let’s hear it for the rainbow tour
It’s been an incredible success
We weren’t quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
But the answer is
Che: A qualified yes
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
Face the facts the rainbow started to fade
I don’t think she’ll make it to England now
Advisor: 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
All: Let’s hear it for the rainbow tour
It’s been an incredible success
We weren’t quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
But the answer is yes
Che: A;nd no
Advisor: And yes
Che: And no
Advisor: And yes
Che: And no
Advisor: Let’s hear it for the rainbow tour
It’s been an incredible success
We weren’t quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
But the answer is yes
Yes
