The Lady's Got Potential Lyrics - Singles - Antonio Banderas

(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
