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 w***e

They actually called me a w***e

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

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

Would Evita win through

And the answer is

Yes

And no

And yes

And no

And yes

No

Would Evita win through But the answer is

Yes

Yes

Yes
