Oh, What A Circus |
| Oh what a circus! |
| Oh what a show! |
| Argentina has gone to town |
| Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron |
| We’ve all gone crazy |
| Mourning all day and mourning all night |
| Falling over ourselves to get all, of the misery right |
| Oh what an exit! |
| That’s how to go! |
| When they’re ringing your curtain down |
| Demand to be buried like Eva Peron |
| It’s quite a sunset |
| And good for the country in a roundabout way |
| We’ve made the front pages of all, the world’s papers today |
| But who is this Santa Evita? |
| Why all this howling hysterical sorrow? |
| What kind of goddess has lived among us? |
| How will we ever get by without her? |
| She had her moments--she had some style |
| The best show in town was the crowd |
| Outside the Casa Rosada crying, «Eva Peron» |
| But that’s all gone now |
| As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears |
| We’re all gonna see and howl, she did nothing for years! |
| Salve regina mater misericordiae |
| Vita dulcedo et spes nostra |
| Salve salve regina |
| Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva |
| Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes |
| O clemens o pia |
| You let down your people Evita |
| You were supposed to have been immortal |
| That’s all they wanted |
| Not much to ask for |
| But in the end you could not deliver |
| Salve regina mater misericordiae |
| Vita dulcedo et spes nostra |
| Salve salve regina Peron |
| Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva |
| Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes |
| O clemens o pia |
