Andrew Lloyd Webber
The Lady’s Got Potential
[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

In the fly-killing world
[CHE]
It's a major advance!

In my world

It'll mean finance

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
