Rainbow Tour

People of Europe, I send you the Rainbow of Argentina Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita She can do what she likes, it doesn't matter much She's our lady of the new world with a golden touch She filled a bull-ring, forty-five thousand seater But if you're prettier than General Franco, that's not hard 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 But more important current political thought is Your wife's a phenomenal asset, your trump card Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour It's been an incredible success We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts Will Evita win through? But the answer is yes 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? 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 Did you hear that? They called me a whore! They actually called me a whore! But Signora Peron it's an easy mistake I'm still called an admiral Yet I gave up the sea long ago More bad news from Rome, she met with the Pope She only got a rosary, a kindly word I wouldn't say the Holy Father gave her the bird But papal decorations never a hope She still looked the part at St. Peter's, caught the eye Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour It's been an incredible success We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts Will Evita win through? But the answer is... A qualified yes 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 Face the facts, the Rainbow's starting to fade I don't think she'll make it to England now It wasn't on the schedule anyhow You'd better get out the flags and fix a parade Some kind of coming home in triumph is required Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour It's been an incredible success We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts Would Evita win through? And the answer is Yes And no And yes And no And yes No Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour It's been an incredible success We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts Would Evita win through? But the answer is Yes Yes Yes
