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 page 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 how, 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 Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy Our life, sweetness, and hope Hail, hail, oh queen To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve To you we sigh, mourning and weeping Oh clement, oh loving one 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 Sing you fools, but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through And she's not coming back to you Show business kept us all alive Since seventeen October 1945 But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of government we had a stage Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage Instead of help we were given a crowd She didn't say much, but she said it loud Sing you fools, but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you 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 Don't cry for me Argentina For I am ordinary, unimportant And undeserving of such attention Unless we all are, I think we all are So share my glory, so share my coffin So share my glory, so share my coffin It's our funeral too |

Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage
You need if you're gonna succeed No money, no cash No father, no bright lights There was nowhere she'd been At the age of fifteen As this tango singer found out Agustin Magaldi Who has the distinction of being the first Man to be of use to Eva Duarte On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays for evermore In the glow of those twinkling lights We shall love through eternity On this night in a million nights Fly away with me I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this But now I know that it can I used to wander alone without a love of my own I was a desperate man But all my grief disappeared and all the sorrow I'd feared Wasn't there anymore On that magical day when you first came my way Mi amor On this night On this night On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays for evermore |

(Magaldi:) Don't hear words that I didn't say (Eva's family:) What's that? You'd desert the girl you love? (Magaldi:) The girl I love? What are you talking about? (Eva's family:) She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract You must be quite relieved that noone's told the papers, so far (Eva:) I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple Would I have done what I did If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known We would stay together (Eva's brother:) Seems to me there's no point in resisting She's made up her mind, you've no choice Why don't you be the man who discovered her You'll never be remembered for your voice (Magaldi:) The city can be paradise for those who have the cash The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash If you were rich or middle class ... (Eva:) Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them! My father's other family were middle class And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral. (Eva's brother:) Do all your one night stands give you this trouble? (Magaldi:) Eva beware of the city It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, it is mad Those who are fools are swallowed up whole And those who are not become what they should not become Changed, in short, they go bad. (Eva:) Bad is good for me I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored I've only been predictable, respectable Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I? I only want variety, of society (chorus) (Magaldi:) Five years from now I shall come back And finally say, "You have your way, come to town." But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes The magical city, a younger girl's city A fantasy long since put down (Eva:) All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy? I played your city games alright, didn't I? I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks I tasted it last night, didn't I? I'm gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple (Eva and family:) She's gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires, Big Apple (Magaldi:) Eva beware your ambition It's hungry and cold, can't be controlled, will run wild This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman Not even a woman, not very much more than a child And whatever you say, I'll not steal you away |

(Eva:)
I don't expect my love affairs to last for long Never fool myself that my dreams will come true Being used to trouble I anticipate it But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you? (Eva:) So what happens now? (Che:) Another suitcase in another hall (Eva:) So what happens now? (Che:) Take your picture off another wall (Eva:) Where am I going to? (Che:) You'll get by, you always have before (Eva:) Where am I going to? Time and time again I've said that I don't care That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through But every time it matters all my words desert me So anyone can hurt me, and they do Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion But that's no consolation here and now. (Huevo:) Don't ask anymore. |

Che:)
Goodnight and thank you Huevo She is in every magazine Been photographed, seen, she is known We don't like to rush, but your case has been packed If she's missed anything, you could give her a ring But she won't always answer the phone (Eva:) Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies But we have pretended enough It's best that we both stop fooling ourselves (Che:) Which means ... (Che and Eva:) There is noone, noone at all Never has been, and never will be a lover, male or female Who hasn't an eye on, in fact they rely on Tricks they can try on their partner They're hoping their lover will help them or keep them Support them, promote them Don't blame them, you're the same (Che:) Goodnight and thank you Emilio You've completed your task What more can we ask of you now? Please sign the book on the way out the door And that will be all, if she needs you she'll call But I don't think that's likely somehow (Eva:) Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies But when we were hot, we were hot I know you'll look back on the good times we've shared Which means ... (Eva:) There is no soap, no soap like Zaz No detergent, lotion, or oil with such power in the shower It's the mother and father of luxury lather The talk of the bath, the great ointment One little frolic with new Zaz carbolic You're scented, you'll be sent (Che:) Goodnight and thank you Senor Jabon We are grateful you found her a spot on the sound radio We'll think of you every time she's on the air We'd love you to stay but you'd be in the way So do up your trousers and go (Eva:) Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies The decline into silence and doubt Our passion was just too intense to survive (Che:) Which means ... (Lovers:) This is a club I should never have joined Someone has made us look fools Argentine men call the sexual shots Someone has altered the rules (Eva:) Fame on the wireless as far as it goes Is all very well but every girl knows (Che:) She needs a man she can monopolize With fingers in dozens of different pies (Lovers:) Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies |

(Eva:) Colonel Peron
(Peron:) Eva Duarte (Eva and Peron:) I've heard so much about you (Eva and Peron:) I'm amazed, for I'm only an actress [a soldier] Nothing to shout about [One of the thousands] Only a girl on the air [Defending the country he loves] (Eva:) But when you act, the things you do affect us all (Peron:) But when you act, you take us away from the squalor of the real world Are you here on your own? (Eva:) Yes, oh yes (Peron:) So am I, what a fortunate coincidence Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight (Eva:) It seems crazy but you must believe There's nothing calculated, nothing planned Please forgive me if I seem naive I would never want to force your hand But please understand, I'd be good for you I don't always rush in like this Twenty seconds after saying hello Telling strangers I'm too good to miss If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so But you really should know, I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you I won't go on if I'm boring you But do you understand my point of view? Do you like what you hear, what you see And would you be, good for me too? I'm not talking of a hurried night A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye Creeping home before it gets too light That's not the reason that I caught your eye Which has to imply, I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you (Peron:) Please go on, you enthrall me I can understand you perfectly And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me I would be good for you too (Eva:) I'm not talking of a hurried night A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye Creeping home before it gets too light That's not the reason that I caught your eye Which has to imply, I'd be good for you I'd be surprisingly good for you |

And she's an actress, the last straw Her only good parts are between her thighs She should stare at the ceiling, not reach for the skies Or she could be his last whore The evidence suggests She has other interests If it's her who's using him He's exceptionally dim Bitch! Dangerous Jade (Aristocrats:) We have allowed ourselves to slip We have completely lost our grip We have declined to an all-time low Tarts have become the set to know (Eva:) I am only a radio star with just one weekly show But speaking as one of the people I want you to know We are tired of the decline of Argentina With no sign of a government able to give us the things we deserve (Army:) It's no crime for officers to do as they please As long as they're discreet and keep clear of disease We ignore, we disregard But once they allow a bit on the side To move to the center where she's not qualified We are forced to mark his card She should get into her head She should not get out of bed She should know that she's not paid To be loud but to be laid Slut! Dangerous Jade (Che:) This has really been your year, Miss Duarte Tell us where you go from here, Miss Duarte Which are the roles that you yearn to play? Whom did you sleep ... dine with yesterday? (Eva:) Acting is limiting, the line's not mine That's no help to the Argentine (Che:) Can we assume then that you'll quit? Is this because of your involvement with Colonel Peron? (Heavies:) Goodnight and thank you (Army:) She won't be kept happy by her nights on the tiles She says it's his body, but she's after his files So get back on to the street She should get into her head She should not get out of bed She should know that she's not paid To be loud but to be laid The evidence suggests She has other interests If it's her who's using him He's exceptionally dim (Aristocrats:) Things have reached a pretty pass When someone pretty lower-class Graceless and vulgar, uninspired Can be accepted and admired |

Dice are rolling, the knives are out Would-be presidents are all around I don't say they mean harm But they'd each give an arm To see us six feet underground (Eva:) It doesn't matter what those morons say Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew There's only twenty of them anyway What is twenty next to millions who Are looking to you? All you have to do is sit and wait Keeping out of everybody's way We'll ... you'll be handed power on a plate When the ones who matter have their say And with chaos installed You can reluctantly agree to be called (Peron:) There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're ahead For distance lends enchantment, and that is why All exiles are distinguished, more important, they're not dead I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay (Eva:) This is crazy defeatist talk Why commit political suicide, there's no risk There's no call for any action at all When you have unions on your side (Workers:) A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied A new Argentina, the voice of the people Cannot be denied (Eva:) There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and your dream He supports you, for he loves you Understands you, is one of you If not, how could he love me?

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after all that I've done You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around, trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to *Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance And as for fortune, and as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired They are illusions They are not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me Don't cry for me Argentina *Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you. But all you have to do is look at me to know That every word is true |

Were there stars in your eyes When you crawled in at night From the bars, from the sidewalks From the gutter theatrical Don't look down, it's a long, long way to fall High flying, adored What happens now, where do you go from here? For someone on top of the world The view is not exactly clear A shame you did it all at twenty-six There are no mysteries now Nothing can thrill you, noone fulfill you High flying, adored I hope you come to terms with boredom So famous so easily, so soon It's not the wisest thing to be You won't care if they love you It's been done before You'll despair if they hate you You'll be drained of all energy All the young who've made it would agree (Eva:) High flying, adored That's good to hear but unimportant My story's quite usual Local girl makes good, weds famous man I was stuck in the right place at the perfect time Filled a gap, I was lucky But one thing I'll say for me Noone else can fill it like I can |

But on the other hand, she's all they have She's a diamond in their dull gray lives And that's the hardest kind of stone It usually survives And when you think about it, can you recall The last time they loved anyone at all? She's not a bauble you can brush aside She's been out doing what we just talked about, example Gave us back our businesses, got the English out And when you think about it, well why not do One or two of the things we promised to? But on the other hand, she's slowing down She's lost a little of that magic drive But I would not advise those critics present to derive Any satisfaction from her fading star She's the one who's kept us where we are (Officers:) She's the one who's kept you where you are |
