Evita vol. 1 movie - The Lady's Got Potential lyrics

rate me

Song by Antonio Banderas<br /><br>

[Che:]<br>

In June of forty-three there was a military coup<br>

Behind it was a gang called the G.O.U.<br>

Who did not feel the need to be elected<br>

<br>

They had themselves a party at the point of a gun<br>

They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun<br>

A bomb or two and very few objected<br>

<br>

Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, die<br>

They stumble and fall, bye bye<br>

Backs to the wall, aim high<br>

We're having a ball<br>

The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies<br>

<br>

The lady's got potential, she was setting her sights<br>

On making it in movies with her name in lights<br>

The greatest social climber since Cinderella<br>

<br>

OK, she couldn't act but she had the right friends<br>

And we all know a career depends<br>

On knowing the right fella to be stellar<br>

<br>

Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, die<br>

They stumble and fall, bye bye<br>

Backs to the wall, aim high<br>

We're having a ball<br>

That's how we get the government we deserve<br>

<br>

Now the man behind the President calling the shots<br>

Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots<br>

Was Colonel Juan Peron, would be dictator<br>

<br>

He began in the army out in Italy so<br>

Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row<br>

I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later<br>

<br>

Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, die<br>

They haven't a chance, bye bye<br>

The terrorists advance<br>

But one guy doesn't dirty his hands<br>

Peron was biding time out in the slow lane<br>

<br>

Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan, kapow, die<br>

They stumble and fall, bye bye<br>

Keep away from the wall<br>

But one guy was having a ball<br>

The tragedy, a golden chance for Peron<br>

<br>

He organized a concert with incredible flair<br>

In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair<br>

Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor<br>

<br>

It was January twenty-second, 1944<br>

A night to remember, yeah, that's for sure<br>

For that's the night that Peron first met Eva<br>

For that's the night that Peron first met Eva<br>

<br>
