The Lady's Got Potential Lyrics - Evita - Motion Picture Music Soundtrack (part 1) - Madonna

CHE 

In June of 43 there was a military coup 

Behind 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 gun 

They were slightly to the right of Attila the Hun 

A bomb or two and very few objected 

Just one shell and governments fall like flies 

Ka-pow, Die 

They stumble and fall 

Bye bye 

Backs to the wall 

Aim high 

We're having a ball 

The tank and bullet ruled as democracy dies 

The lady's got potential 

She was setting her sights 

Of making it in movies 

With her name in lights 

The greatest social climber 

Since Cinderella 

Okay she couldn't act 

But she had the right friends 

And we all know a career depends 

On knowing the right fella to be stellar. 

Just one shell and governments lose their nerve 

Ka-pow, Die 

They stumble and fall 

Bye, bye 

Backs to the wall 

Aim high 

We're having a ball 

That's how we get the government we deserve 

Now the man behind the president 

Calling the shots 

Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots was Colonel Juan Peron would-be dictator 

He began in the army out in Italy so 

Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row 

I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later 

Just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain 

Ka-pow, Die 

They haven't a chance 

Bye bye 

The terrorists advance 

But one guy 

Doesn't dirty his hands 

Peron was biding time out in the slow lane. 

Suddenly a earthquake hit the town of San Juan 

Ka-pow, Die 

They stumble and fall 

Bye bye 

Keep away from the wall 

But one guy 

Was having a ball 

The tragedy a golden chance for Peron 

He organized a concert with incredible flair 

He named off all the victims such a grand affair Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor 

It was January 22, 1944 A night to remember yeah that's for sure 

For that's the night that Peron first met Eva 

For that's the night that Peron first met Eva.
