Rainbow Tour |
| 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! |
| She’s the new world Madonna with the golden touch! |
| She filled a bull-ring, forty-five thousand seater |
| But if you’re prettier than General Franco, that’s not hard |
| 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 |
| More important, current political thought is |
| Your wife’s a phenomenal asset, your trump card! |
| Supporters |
| Let’s hear it for the Rainbow Tour |
| It’s been an incredible success! |
| We weren’t quite sure, we had a few doubts! |
| Che |
| Would Evita win through? |
| Supporters |
| But the answer is yes! |
| Eva |
| There you are, I told you so: |
| Makes no difference where we go! |
| The whole world over, just the same- |
| You should have heard them call our name |
| And who would underestimate the actress now? |
| Peron |
| I’m not underestimating you! |
| Just do the same thing in Italy please! |
| Che |
| Now I don’t like to spoil a wonderful story |
| But the news from Rome is not so good |
| She hasn’t gone down like we 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! |
| Old Seaman |
| But Senora Peron, it’s an easy mistake! |
| I’m still called an admiral |
| But I gave up the sea long ago! |
| Che |
| Things aren’t all that bad — she met with the Pope |
| She got a Papal decoration and a kindly word |
| So even if the crowd gave our lady the bird |
| The Argentine-Italy axis does have some hope |
| Woman |
| She still made a fabulous impact — caught the eye |
| Supporters |
| Let’s hear it for the Rainbow Tour |
| It’s been an incredible success! |
| We weren’t quite sure, we had a few doubts! |
| Che |
| Would Evita win through? |
| Supporters |
| But the answer is… |
| Che |
| …a qualified… |
| Supporters |
| …yes! |
| Che |
| Eva started well, no question, in France: |
| Shining like the sun through the post-war haze |
| A beautiful reminder of the carefree days |
| She nearly captured the French, she sure had the chance |
| But she suddenly seemed to lose interest … she looked tired |
| Supporters |
| Tired? |
| Eva? |
| Tired? |
| Che |
| Face the facts, the Rainbow’s started to fade! |
| I don’t think she’ll make it to England now… |
| Peron |
| It wasn’t on the schedule anyhow… |
| Che |
| Better get out the flags and fix a parade~ |
| Some kind of coming home in triumph is required |
| Supporters |
| Let’s hear it for the Rainbow Tour |
| It’s been an incredible success! |
| We weren’t quite sure, we had a few doubts! |
| Che |
| Would Evita win through? |
| Supporters |
| But the answer is yes… |
| Che |
| And no! |
| Supporters |
| And yes! |
| Che |
| And no! |
| Supporters |
| And yes … and no |
| Let’s hear it for the Rainbow Tour |
| It’s been an incredible success! |
| Eva |
| Who the hell does the King of England think he is? |
| Tea at some tinpot castle of his! |
| What kind of invitation is that? |
| Argentina’s first lady deserves Buckingham Palace |
| If England can do without me |
| Then Argentina can do without England |
