In June of forty-three there was a military coup<br />
Behind it was a gang called the G.O.U.<br />
Who did not feel the need to be elected<br />
<br />
They had themselves a party at the point of a gun<br />
They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun<br />
A bomb or two and very few objected<br />
<br />
Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, die<br />
They stumble and fall, bye bye<br />
Backs to the wall, aim high<br />
We're having a ball<br />
The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies<br />
<br />
The lady's got potential, she was setting her sights<br />
On making it in movies with her name in lights<br />
The greatest social climber since Cinderella<br />
<br />
OK, she couldn't act but she had the right friends<br />
And we all know a career depends<br />
On knowing the right fella to be stellar<br />
<br />
Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, die<br />
They stumble and fall, bye bye<br />
Backs to the wall, aim high<br />
We're having a ball<br />
That's how we get the government we deserve<br />
<br />
Now the man behind the President calling the shots<br />
Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots<br />
Was Colonel Juan Peron, would be dictator<br />
<br />
He began in the army out in Italy so<br />
Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row<br />
I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later<br />
<br />
Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, die<br />
They haven't a chance, bye bye<br />
The terrorists advance<br />
But one guy doesn't dirty his hands<br />
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane<br />
<br />
Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan, kapow, die<br />
They stumble and fall, bye bye<br />
Keep away from the wall<br />
But one guy was having a ball<br />
The tragedy, a golden chance for Peron<br />
<br />
He organized a concert with incredible flair<br />
In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair<br />
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor<br />
<br />
It was January twenty-second, 1944<br />
A night to remember, yeah, that's for sure<br />
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva<br />
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva
