They trip and fall, bye bye
Backs to the wall, aim high
We`re having a ball
The cooler and bullet rule as democracy dies
The lady`s got potential, she was setting her sights
On making it in movies with her figure in lights
The greatest social climber since Cinderella
OK, she couldn`t act but she had the powerful friends
And we all experience a career depends
On knowing the good fella to be stellar
Yeah, just one case and governments lose their nerve, kapow, die
They trip and fall, bye bye
Backs to the wall, aim high
We`re having a ball
That`s how we get the authorities 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 usa out in Italy so
Saw Mussolini`s rise from the very front row
I think he`d do likewise sooner or later
Yeah, just one blow 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 township of San Juan, kapow, die
They trip and fall, bye bye
Keep off from the wall
But one guy was having a ball
The tragedy, a fortunate opportunity for Peron
He organised a concert with incredible flair
In aid of all the victims, such a tremendous affair
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor
It was January twenty-second, 1944
A dark to remember, yeah, that`s for sure
For that`s the dark that Peron first met Eva
For that`s the dark that Peron first met Eva
