Antonio Banderas - The Lady's Got Potential

In June of forty-three
There was a military coup
Behind it was a gang
Called the G.O.U.
Who did not feel
The need to be elected

They had themselves a party
At the point of a gun
They were slightly to the right
Of Attila the Hun
A bomb or two
And very few objected

Yeah, just one shell and governments
Fall like flies, kapow die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Backs to the wall, aim high
We're having a ball
The tank and bullet
Rule as democracy dies

The lady's got potential
She was setting her sights
On making it in movies
With her name in lights
The greatest social
Climber since Cinderella

OK, she couldn't act
But she had the right friends
And we all know
A career depends
On knowing the right fella
To be stellar

Yeah, just one shell and governments
Lose their nerve, kapow die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Backs to the wall, aim high
We're having a ball
That's how we get
The government we deserve

Now the man behind the President
Calling the shots
Involved so discreetly in
A lot of their plots
Was Colonel Juan Peron
Would be dictator

He began in the army
Out in Italy so
Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row
I reckon he'd do like wise sooner or later

Yeah, just one blast and the tear
Gas falls like rain, kapow die
They haven't a chance, bye bye
The terrorists advance
But one guy doesn't dirty his hands
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane

Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town
Of San Juan, kapow die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Keep away from the wall
But one guy
Was having a ball
The tragedy
A golden chance for Peron

He organized a concert with incredible flair
In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor

It was January twenty-second, 1944
A night to remember, yeah that's for sure
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva.
