People of Europe! I send you the Rainbow of Argentina!Spain has fallen to the charms of EvitaShe can do what she likes--it doesn't matter muchShe's the New World Madonna with the golden touchShe filled a bull-ring--forty-five thousand seaterBut if you're prettier than General FrancoThat's not hardFranco's reign in Spain should see out the fortiesSo you've just acquired an ally whoLooks as secure in his job as youMore important, current political thought isYour wife's a phenomenal assetYour trump cardLet's hear it for the Rainbow TourIt's been an incredible successWe weren't quite sure, we had a few doubtsWould Evita win through?But the answer is yes!There you are, I told you soLetras de cancionesMakes no difference where we goThe whole world over--just the sameYou should have heard them call our nameAnd who would underestimate the actress now?I'm not underestimating you--just do the same thing inItaly pleaseNow I don't like to spoil a wonderful storyBut the news from Rome is not so goodShe hasn't gone down like we thought she wouldItaly's unconvinced by Argentine gloryThey equate Peron with MussoliniCan't think whyDid you here that?They called me a whore!They actually called me a whore!But Signora PeronIt's an easy mistakeI'm still called an admiralyet I gave up the sea long agoThings aren't all that bad she met with the PopeShe got a Papal decoration and a kindly wordSo even if the crowds gave our lady the birdThe Argentine/Italy axis does have some hopeShe still made a fabulous impactCaught the eyeLet's here it for the Rainbow TourIt's been an incredible successWe weren't quite sure, we had a few doubtsWould Evita win through?But the answer isA qualifiedYes!Eva started well, no question, in FranceShining like the sun through the post-war hazeA beautiful reminder of the carefree daysShe nearly captured the French, she sure had the chanceBut she suddenly seemed to lose interestShe looked tiredTired? Eva tired?Face the facts, the Rainbow's starting to fadeI don't think she'll make it to England nowIt wasn't on the schedule anyhowYou'd better get out the flags and fix a paradeSome kind of coming home triumphIs requiredLet's here it for the Rainbow TourIt's been an incredible successWe weren't quite sure, we had a few doubtsWould Evita win through?And the answer isYesAnd noAnd yesAnd noAnd yes, and noLet's here it for the Rainbow TourIt's been an incredible successWho the hell does the King of England think he is?Tea at some tinpot castle of his--what kind of invitationis that?Argentina's First Lady deserves Buckingham Palace!If England can do without meThen Argentina can do without England!
