[00:12.49]
[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]
