Lyrics

[CHE] The lady's got potential, she ought to go far She always knows exactly who her best friends are The greatest social climber since Cinderella But Eva's not the only one who's getting the breaks I'm a research chemist who's got what it takes And my insecticide's gonna be a bestseller Yeah, just one blast and the insects fall like flies Kapow! Die! They don't have a chance! In the fly-killing world it's a major advance In my world it'll mean finance I'm shaping up successful capitalist-wise But getting back to Eva, she just saw those guys As steps on the ladder to the ultimate prize And he goes by the name of Colonel Perón He began his career in the army overseas Teaching all the other soldiers all he knew about skis When others took a tumble he would always stay on Yeah, sure Perón could ski, but who needs a snowman? He said: [PERÓN] Great men don't grow on trees I'm one, I ain't gonna freeze Dictators don't grow on skis [CHE] Perón would be no number two to no man He married in the meantime but the poor girl died Imagine if she hadn't—we'd have been denied The heart-warming, tear-jerking rise to fame of Eva Now my insecticide contains no dangerous drugs It can't harm humans but it's curtains for bugs You've got six legs, I ain't doing you no favor Yeah, just one blast and the insects fall like flies Kapow! Die! They don't have a chance In the fly-killing world it's a major advance In my world it'll mean finance I'm shaping up successful capitalist-wise [WOMEN] Kapow! Die! [CHE] They don't have a chance [WOMEN] In the fly-killing world [CHE] It's a major advance! [WOMEN] In my world [CHE] It'll mean finance I'm shaping up successful capitalist-wise! Oh yes, Perón, he joined a faction called the G.O.U.  [PERÓN & OFFICERS] G—Government O—Order U—Unity [CHE] They were the gang behind a military coup So Perón was a heartbeat away from control of the nation They thought that Hitler had the war as good as won They were slightly to the right of Attila the Hun And Eva set her sights on Perón—and his situation And Eva set her sights on Perón—and his situation [PERÓN & OFFICERS] The G.O.U. is a three pronged operation Government—unopposed and allied With Order—ruthlessly applied And Unity—those not on our side Are subject to the process of elimination
