Dangerous Jade (evita) Lyrics - Tim Rice

Peron is a fool, breaking every taboo 

Installing the girl in the army H.Q. 

And she's an actress! The last straw 

Her only good parts are between her thighs 

She should stare at the ceiling, not reach for the skies 

Or she could be his last w____ 

The evidence suggests 

She has other interests 

If it's her who's using him 

He's exceptionally dim 

B____! Dangerous Jade! 

ARISTOCRATS 

We have allowed ourselves to slip 

We have completely lost our grip 

We have declined to an all-time low 

Tarts have become the set to know 

EVA (on the air) 

I'm only a radio star with just one weekly show 

But speaking as one of the people I want you to know 

We are tired of the decline of 

Argentina with no sign of 

A government able to give us the things we deserve 

ARMY 

It's no crime for officers to do as they please 

As long as they're discreet and keep clear of disease 

We ignore, we disregard 

But once they allow a bit on the side 

To move to the center where she's not qualified 

We are forced be on our guard 

She should get into her head 

She should not get out of bed 

She should know that she's not paid 

To be loud but to be laid 

S___! Dangerous Jade! 

(EVA, the glamorous movie star, enters, 

Flanked by HEAVIES.) 

CHE (in the guise of a reporter) 

This has really been your year Miss Duarte 

Tell us where you go from here Miss Duarte 

Which are the roles that you yearn to play 

Whom did you sleep--dine with yesterday? 

EVA 

Acting is limiting the lines not mine 

That's no help to the Argentine 

CHE 

Can we assume then that you'll quit? Is this because of 

Your involvement with Colonel Peron? 

HEAVIES 

Goodnight and thank you 

(They push CHE aside and EVA out) 

ARMY 

She won't be kept happy by her nights on the tiles 

She says it's his body but she's after his files 

So get back onto the street! 

She should get into her head 

She should not get out of bed 

She should know that she's not paid 

To be loud but to be laid 

The evidence suggests 

She has other interests 

If it's her who's using him 

He's exceptionally dim 

ARISTOCRATS 

Things have reached a pretty pass 

When someone pretty lower class 

Graceless and vulgar, uninspired 

Can be accepted and admired
