Lyrics
I don't really think I need the reasons why I won't succeed
I have done!
Let's get this show on the road
Let's make it obvious
Perón is off and rolling
Eyes! Hair! Mouth! Figure!
Dress! Voice! Style! Movement!
Hands! Magic! Rings! Glamour!
Face! Diamonds! Excitement! Image!
I came from the people
They need to adore me
So Christian Dior me
From my head to my toes
I need to be dazzling
I want to be rainbow high!
They must have excitement
And so must I
Eyes! Hair! Mouth! Figure!
Dress! Voice! Style! Movement!
I'm their product
It's vital you sell me
So Machiavell-me
Make an Argentine Rose!
I need to be thrilling
And I shall be rainbow high!
They need their escape
And so do I
Eyes! Hair! Mouth! Figure!
Dress! Voice! Style! Movement!
Hands! Magic! Rings! Glamour!
Face! Diamonds! Excitement! Image!
All my descamisados expect me to outshine the enemy
The aristocracy
I won't disappoint them
I'm their saviour!
That's what they call me
So Lauren Bacall me
Anything goes
To make me fantastic
I have to be rainbow high
In magical colours
You're not decorating a girl for a night on the town!
And I'm not a second rate queen getting kicks with a crown!
Next stop will be Europe!
The Rainbow's gonna tour
Dressed up, somewhere to go—we'll put on a show!
Look out, mighty Europe!
Because—you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Argentina's brand of star quality!
