Evita Suite

^Repeat

[Bruno]
 * Oh what a circus, oh what a show
 * Argentina has gone to town
 * Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
 * We've all gone crazy
 * Mourning all day and mourning all night
 * Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right


 * Oh what an exit, that's how to go
 * When they're ringing your curtain down
 * Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
 * It's quite a sunset
 * And good for the country in a roundabout way
 * We've made the front page of all the world's papers today


 * But who is this Santa Evita?
 * Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
 * What kind of goddess has lived among us?
 * How will we ever get by without her?


 * She had her moments, she had some style
 * The best show in town was the crowd
 * Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
 * But that's all gone now
 * As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
 * We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years

[Bruno]
 * You let down your people, Evita
 * You were supposed to have been immortal
 * That's all they wanted
 * Not much to ask for
 * But in the end you could not deliver
 * Sing you fools! But you got it wrong
 * Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
 * Your queen is dead, your king is through
 * And she's not coming back to you
 * Show business kept us all alive
 * Since 17th October 1945
 * But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
 * That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in
 * Instead of government we had a stage
 * Instead of ideas a prima donna's rage
 * Instead of help we were given a crowd
 * She didn't say much but she said it loud


 * Sing you fools! But you got it wrong
 * Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
 * Your queen is dead, your king is through
 * She's not coming back to you
