Rainbow Tour Lyrics - Singles - Antonio Banderas

(Peron:) 

People of Europe, I send you the Rainbow of Argentina 

(Che:) 

Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita 

She can do what she likes, it doesn't matter much 

(Aide #1:) 

She's our lady of the new world with a golden touch 

(Aide #2:) 

She filled a bull-ring, forty-five thousand seater 

(Che:) 

But if you're prettier than General Franco, that's not hard 

(Aide #1:) 

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 

(Aide #2:) 

But more important current political thought is 

Your wife's a phenomenal asset, your trump card 

Chorus: 

(Peron and Aides:) 

Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour 

It's been an incredible success 

We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts 

(Peron:) Will Evita win through? 

(Aides:) But the answer is yes 

(Peron:) 

There you are, I told you so 

Makes no difference where she goes 

The whole world over just the same 

Just listen to them call her name 

And who would underestimate the actress now? 

(Che:) 

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 they thought she would 

Italy's unconvinced by Argentine glory 

They equate Peron with Mussolini, can't think why 

(Eva:) 

Did you hear that? They called me a whore! 

They actually called me a whore! 

(Italian admiral:) 

But Signora Peron it's an easy mistake 

I'm still called an admiral 

Yet I gave up the sea long ago 

(Aide #2:) 

More bad news from Rome; she met with the Pope 

She only got a rosary, a kindly word 

(Che:) 

I wouldn't say the Holy Father gave her the bird 

But papal decorations, never a hope 

(Aide #1:) 

She still looked the part at St. Peter's, caught the eye 

(chorus) 

(Peron:) Will Evita win through? 

(Aides:) But the answer is ... 

(Che:) A qualified 

(Aides:) Yes 

(Che:) 

Eva started well, no question, in France 

Shining like a sun through the post-war haze 

A beautiful reminder of the care-free days 

She nearly captured the French, she sure had the chance 

But she suddenly seemed to lose interest 

She looked tired 

(Che:) 

Face the facts, the Rainbow's starting to fade 

I don't think she'll make it to England now 

(Aide #1:) 

It wasn't on the schedule anyhow 

(Che:) 

You'd better get out the flags and fix a parade 

Some kind of coming home in triumph is required 

(chorus) 

(Aide #2:) Would Evita win through? 

(Aide #1:) And the answer is 

(Aide #2:) Yes 

(Che:) And no 

(Aides:) And yes 

(Che:) And no 

(Aides:) And yes 

(Che:) No 

(chorus) 

(Aides:) Would Evita win through? But the answer is 

(Aide #2:) Yes 

(Aide #1:) Yes 

(Aide #2:) Yes
