"The Lady's Got Potential"

[Che:]In June of forty-three there was a military coupBehind it was a gang called the G.O.U.Who did not feel the need to be elected

They had themselves a party at the point of a gunThey were slightly to the right of Atilla the HunA bomb or two and very few objected

Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, dieThey stumble and fall, bye byeBacks to the wall, aim highWe're having a ballThe tank and bullet rule as democracy dies

The lady's got potential, she was setting her sightsOn making it in movies with her name in lightsThe greatest social climber since Cinderella

OK, she couldn't act but she had the right friendsAnd we all know a career dependsOn knowing the right fella to be stellar

Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, dieThey stumble and fall, bye byeBacks to the wall, aim highWe're having a ballThat's how we get the government we deserve

Now the man behind the President calling the shotsInvolved so discreetly in a lot of their plotsWas Colonel Juan Peron, would be dictator

He began in the army out in Italy soSaw Mussolini's rise from the very front rowI reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later

Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, dieThey haven't a chance, bye byeThe terrorists advanceBut one guy doesn't dirty his handsPeron was biding time out in the slow lane

Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan, kapow, dieThey stumble and fall, bye byeKeep away from the wallBut one guy was having a ballThe tragedy, a golden chance for Peron

He organized a concert with incredible flairIn aid of all the victims, such a grand affairPoliticians, actors, stars of every flavor

It was January twenty-second, 1944A night to remember, yeah, that's for sureFor that's the night that Peron first met EvaFor that's the night that Peron first met Eva
