Antonio Banderas The Lady`s Got Potential Lyrics

The Lady`s Got Potential Lyrics

(Che:)

 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 Atilla 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
