Lyrics

Now Eva Peron Had every disadvantage You need if you're gonna succeed No money, no class No father, no brightlights There was nowhere she'd been At the age of fifteen As this tango singer found out A tango singer Augustin Migaldi Who has the distinction Of being the first Man to be of use To Eva Duarte On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays forever more In the glow of those twinkling lights We shall love through eternity On this night in a millioin nights Fly away with me I never dreamed that a kiss Could be as sweet as this Now I know that it can I used to wander alone Without a love of my own I was a desperate man But all my grief disappear And all the sorrow I feared Wasn't there anymore On that magical day When you first came my way Mi amore On this night... On this night... On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to heaven's door Where the music of love's guitar Plays forever more To think that a man As famous as you are Could love a poor little nothing like me The audience here Are sitting on their hands Listen chum face the fact They don't like your act But this is Junin If this were Buenos Aires I'd have that town at my feet I never ever meet Members of the public They'd tear me apart I understand their feelings I wanna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple I wanna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple Just listen to that They're on to you Migaldi I'd get out while you can It's happened at last I'm starting to get started I'm moving out with my man Now Eva don't get carried away Monotony pased Suburbia departed Who could ever get kicks In the back of the Shticks Don't hear words that I didn't say (What's that, you desert the girl you love) The girl I love? What are you talking about? (She really brightened up your out of town engagement. She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract You must be quite releived that no one's told the papers So far!) I wanna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple Would I have done what I did If I hadn't thought If I hadn't known We would stay together Seems to me there's no point in resisting She's made up her mind you've no choice Why don't you be the man who discovered her You'll never be remembered for your voice The city can be paradise For those who have the cash The class and the connection Are what you need to make a splash The likes of you get swept up In the morning with the trash If you were rich or middle class Screw the middle classes I will never except them And they will never deny me anything again My father's other family were middle class And we were kept out of sight Hidden from view at his funeral If these are the people of Buenos Aires I welcome the chance to shine in their city Do all your one-night-stands Give you this trouble Eva beware of the city It's hungry and cold Can't be controlled It is mad Those who are fools Are swallowed up whole And those who are not, Become what they should not Become changed, in short They go bad Bad is good for me, I'm bored So clean and so ignored I've only been predictable, respectible Birds fly out of here, so Why oh why oh why the hell can't I? I only want variety, notariety I wanna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple (She wants...) Five years from now I shall come back And finally say You'll have your way Come to town But you'll look at me, With a foreigner's eyes The magical city A younger girl's city A fantasy long since put down All you've done to me Was that a young girls fantasy I played your city games alright Didn't I I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks I tasted it last night Didn't I I'm gonna be a part of BA, Buenos Aires, Big Apple (She's gonna...) Eva beware your ambition It's hungry and cold Cant be controlled Will run wild This in a man Is a danger enough But you are a woman Not even a woman Not very much more than a child And whatever you say I'll not steal you away.
