|
| [00:24.05] |
In June of forty-three there was a military coup |
| [00:26.89] |
Behind it was a gang called the G.O.U. |
| [00:30.65] |
Who did not feel the need to be elected |
| [00:35.80] |
|
| [00:37.68] |
They had themselves a party at the point of a gun |
| [00:41.03] |
They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun |
| [00:44.35] |
A bomb or two and very few objected |
| [00:50.77] |
|
| [00:51.65] |
Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, die |
| [00:58.37] |
They stumble and fall, bye bye |
| [01:01.63] |
Backs to the wall, aim high |
| [01:05.98] |
We're having a ball |
| [01:07.78] |
The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies |
| [01:22.95] |
The lady's got potential, she was setting her sights |
| [01:26.14] |
On making it in movies with her name in lights |
| [01:29.61] |
The greatest social climber since Cinderella |
| [01:34.87] |
|
| [01:36.64] |
OK, she couldn't act but she had the right friends |
| [01:40.35] |
And we all know a career depends |
| [01:43.64] |
On knowing the right fella to be stellar |
| [01:49.71] |
|
| [01:50.52] |
Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, die |
| [01:57.81] |
They stumble and fall, bye bye |
| [02:01.33] |
Backs to the wall, aim high |
| [02:04.75] |
We're having a ball |
| [02:06.97] |
That's how we get the government we deserve |
| [02:13.67] |
|
| [02:22.51] |
Now the man behind the President calling the shots |
| [02:25.70] |
Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots |
| [02:29.30] |
Was Colonel Juan Peron, would be dictator |
| [02:34.52] |
|
| [02:36.44] |
He began in the army out in Italy so |
| [02:39.80] |
Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row |
| [02:43.21] |
I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later |
| [02:49.03] |
|
| [02:50.09] |
Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, die |
| [02:57.89] |
They haven't a chance, bye bye |
| [03:00.83] |
The terrorists advance |
| [03:03.02] |
But one guy doesn't dirty his hands |
| [03:06.32] |
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane |
| [03:15.52] |
|
| [03:17.37] |
Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan, kapow, die |
| [03:25.16] |
They stumble and fall, bye bye |
| [03:25.84] |
Keep away from the wall |
| [03:29.23] |
But one guy was having a ball |
| [03:32.72] |
The tragedy, a golden chance for Peron |
| [03:45.56] |
|
| [03:45.84] |
He organized a concert with incredible flair |
| [03:48.25] |
In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair |
| [03:51.91] |
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor |
| [03:57.59] |
|
| [03:58.97] |
It was January twenty-second, 1944 |
| [04:02.51] |
A night to remember, yeah, that's for sure |
| [04:06.03] |
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva |
| [04:11.69] |
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva |
| [04:20.83] |
|
