The Ladys Got Potential Lyrics

Che: In June of '43 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
Okay 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 teargas falls like rain
Kapow die
They haven't a chance
Bye bye
The terrors 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 on January 22 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
