The Lady's Got Potential lyrics

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 likewise 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
