Lyrics : Rainbow Tour
People of Europe!
I send you the Rainbow of Argentina!
Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita, mmm hmm
She can do what she likes, it doesn't matter much
She's the new world Madonna with the golden touch
She filled a bullring—forty-five thousand seater, mmm hmm
But if you're prettier than General Franco
Well, 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
But more important, current political thought is
Your wife's a phenomenal a**et
Your trump card
Lеt's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incrediblе success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts
Would Evita win through?
But the answer is—yes!
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?
I'm not underestimating you
Just do the same thing in Italy please
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 we thought she would
Italy's unconvinced by Argentine glory
They equate Perón with Mussolini
Can't think why
Did you hear that?
They called me a w****!
They actually called me a w****!
But Signora Perón
It's an easy mistake—I've had that trouble too
I'm still called an admiral
Yet I gave up the sea long ago
Things aren't all that bad—she met the Pope
She got a Papal decoration and a kindly word
So even if the crowds gave our lady the bird
The Argentine-Italy axis does have some hope
She still made a fabulous impact
Caught the eye
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts
Would Evita win through?
But the answer is—
A qualified—
Yes!
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
Face the facts, the Rainbow's started to fade
I don't think she'll make it to England now
It wasn't on the schedule anyhow
You'd better get out the flags and fix a parade
Some kind of coming home in triumph is required
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts
Would Evita win through?
And the answer is—
Yes and no and yes and no and yes and no
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts
Would—
