Che: Oh what a circus
Oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We’ve all gone crazy mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
Oh what an exit that’s how to go
When they’re ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It’s quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We’ve made the front page of all the world’s papers today
But who is this Santa Evita
Why all this howling hysterical sorrow
What kind of goddess has lived among us
How will we ever get by without her
She had her moments she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying Eva Peron
But that’s all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We’re all gonna see and how
She’s done nothing for years
Choir: Salve Regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve Regina
Ad te clamamus
Exules filii Eva
Ad tu suspiramus gementes
Et flentes o clemens o pia
Che: You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That’s all they wanted not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver
Sing you fools but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven’t got long
Your queen is dead your king is through
And she’s not coming back to you
Show business kept us all alive
Since 17 October 1945
But the star has gone
The glamour’s worn thin
That’s a pretty bad state for a state to be in
Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas a prima donna’s rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn’t say much but she said it loud
Sing you fools but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven’t got long
Your queen is dead your king is through
And she’s not coming back to you
Choir: Salve Regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve Regina Peron
Ad te clamamus
Exules filii Eva
Ad tu suspiramus gementes
Et flentes o clemens o pia
Eva: Don’t cry for me Argentina
For I am ordinary unimportant
And undeserving of such attention
Uneless we all are I think we all are
So share my glory so share my coffin
So share my glory so share my coffin
Che: It’s our funeral too
