| [00:09.10] | Oh what a circus, oh what a show |
| [00:13.21] | Argentina has gone to town |
| [00:16.66] | Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron |
| [00:21.70] | We've all gone crazy |
| [00:24.77] | Mourning all day and mourning all night |
| [00:28.10] | Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right |
| [00:36.26] | Oh what an exit, that's how to go |
| [00:41.01] | When they're ringing your curtain down |
| [00:44.53] | Demand to be buried like Eva Peron |
| [00:49.38] | It's quite a sunset |
| [00:52.18] | And good for the country in a roundabout way |
| [00:55.76] | We've made the front page of all the world's papers today |
| [01:03.37] | But who is this Santa Evita? |
| [01:06.58] | Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow? |
| [01:10.12] | What kind of goddess has lived among us? |
| [01:13.69] | How will we ever get by without her? |
| [01:20.76] | She had her moments, she had some style |
| [01:25.70] | The best show in town was the crowd |
| [01:28.55] | Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron" |
| [01:33.49] | But that's all gone now |
| [01:36.38] | As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears |
| [01:39.81] | We're all gonna see and how |
| [01:44.24] | She did nothing for years |
| [01:47.98] | Salve regina mater misericordiae |
| [01:52.96] | Vita dulcedo et spes nostra |
| [01:56.70] | Salve salve regina |
| [02:01.08] | Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva |
| [02:07.64] | Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes |
| [02:12.05] | O clemens o pia |
| [02:14.99] | You let down your people Evita |
| [02:17.98] | You were supposed to have been immortal |
| [02:21.61] | That's all they wanted, not much to ask for |
| [02:25.32] | But in the end you could not deliver |
| [02:31.49] | Sing you fools, but you got it wrong |
| [02:33.88] | Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long |
| [02:36.22] | Your queen is dead, your king is through |
| [02:38.46] | And she's not coming back to you |
| [02:42.24] | Show business kept us all alive |
| [02:44.41] | Since seventeen October 1945 |
| [02:46.59] | But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin |
| [02:49.14] | That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in |
| [02:52.70] | Instead of government we had a stage |
| [02:54.93] | Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage |
| [02:57.19] | Instead of help we were given a crowd |
| [02:59.60] | She didn't say much, but she said it loud |
| [03:03.17] | Sing you fools, but you got it wrong |
| [03:05.38] | Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long |
| [03:07.68] | Your queen is dead, your king is through |
| [03:09.99] | And she's not coming back to you |
| [03:17.74] | Salve regina mater misericordiae |
| [03:25.69] | Vita dulcedo et spes nostra |
| [03:32.42] | Salve salve regina |
| [03:39.09] | Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva |
| [03:51.01] | Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes |
| [03:59.77] | O clemens o pia |
| [04:05.41] | |
| [04:56.14] | Don't cry for me Argentina |
| [05:00.54] | For I am ordinary, unimportant |
| [05:05.79] | And undeserving of such attention |
| [05:11.09] | Unless we all are, I think we all are |
| [05:16.43] | So share my glory, so share my coffin |
| [05:24.73] | So share my glory, so share my coffin |
| [05:37.00] | It's our funeral too |
| [05:44.89] |
