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 the new world Madonna with the golden touch
She filled the full ring, 45,000 sitar
But if you're prettier than General Franco, that's not hard
Franco's reign in Spain should see out the 40s
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
Would Evita win through?
But the answer is yes
There you are, I told you so
Makes no difference where we go
The whole world's over just the same
You should have heard them call our name
And who would underestimate the actress now?
I'm not underestimating you
Just do the same thing in Italy, please
Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
But the news from Rome isn't any so good
She hasn't gone down like we thought she would
Italy is on the corner of Italy by Argentine glory
They equate Peron with Mussolini
Can't think of why
Did you hear that?
They called me a *
They actually called me a *
Signore Peron, it's an easy mistake
I'm still called an admiral
Yet I gave up the sea long ago
Things aren't all that bad
She met with the Pope
She met with the Pope

She got a papal decoration
And a kindly word
So even if the crowds gave our lady the bird
The Argentine Italy access does have some hope
She still made a fabulous impact
Caught the eye
Let's hear it for the rainbow tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure
We had a few doubts
Would they be true?
To win through
But the answer is
A qualified
Yes
It all started well
No question in France
Shining like the sun
Through the post-war haze
A beautiful reminder
Of the carefree days
She nearly captured the French
She sure had the chance
But she suddenly seemed to lose interest
And she suddenly seemed to lose interest
She looked tired
Tired, Eva, tired
Fake the facts
The rainbow started to fade
I don't think she'll make it to England now
It wasn't on the schedule anyhow
You better get out the flags
And fix a parade
Some kind of coming home triumph
Is required
Let's hear it for the rainbow tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure
We had a few doubts
Would Edita win through?
And the answer is yes
And no
And yes
And no
And yes
And no
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
Who the hell does the King of England think he is?
Tea at some tin pot castle of his
What kind of invitation is that?
Argentina's first lady deserves Buckingham Palace
If England can do without me
Then Argentina can do without England
