What's new, Buenos Aires?
I'm new, I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me, too

I get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back, you oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

Put me up with your heat, with your noise
With your dirt, overdo me
Let me dance to your beat make it loud
Let it hurt run it through me

Don't hold back you are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying

Hello, Buenos Aires
Get this, just look at me dressed up somewhere to go
We'll put on a show

Take me in at your flood, give me speed
Give me lights, set me humming
Shoot me up with your blood
wind me up with your nights, watch me coming

All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because you ought know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

And if ever I go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town I love you
And if I need a moment's rest
Give your lover my very best
Real eiderdown and silence

Che (spoken):
What makes the city hum? Who gives it life?
The descamisados, the shirtless ones.
The laborers, the butchers, the dockers, the shuffling workers
In the stockyard, in the factories, and on the treadmill.
Do these people have ambitions, views, opinions? They will soon.

Don't you just love the smack of firm government?
We all appreciate the invaluable support, order,
And purpose provided by the military to our constitution.
It will soon be time for the military to be our constitution, say some.
Notably, the military.

The gathering at the polo ground glitters.
The Bentleys, the hampers from Harrods, the diamonds, the clothes,
The procession of nannies from England and France.
Who on earth, or in Argentina, would want to pull the rug out
From under the polished feet of la creme of Buenos Aires society?
Eva:
You're a tramp, you're a treat
You will shine to the death
You are shoddy
But you are flesh you are meat
You shall have every breath in my body

Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit I'll find ways of paying

Rio de la Plata
Florida, Corrientes nueve de Julio
All I want to know

Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because you oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality
