text: 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 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
  Were having a ball
  The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies
  The ladys 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 couldnt 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
  Were having a ball
  Thats 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 Mussolinis rise from the very front row
  I reckon hed do likewise sooner or later
  Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, die
  They havent a chance, bye bye
  The terrorists advance
  But one guy doesnt 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, thats for sure
  For thats the night that Peron first met Eva
  For thats the night that Peron first met Eva
