Rainbow Tour

Rainbow Tour - Original Cast Recording

Written by：Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice

People of Europe

I send you the rainbow of Argentina

Spain has fallen to the charms of evita

She can do what she likes it

Doesn't matter much

She's the new world Madonna

With the golden touch

She filled a bull ring

Forty five thousand seater

But if you're prettier

Than general franco

That's not hard

Franco's reign in

Spain should

See out the forties

So you've just acquired

An ally who

Looks as secure in

His job as you

But more important

Current political thought is

Your wife's a phenomenal asset

Your trump card

Let's hear it for

The rainbow tour it's

Been an

Incredible success

We weren't quite sure

We had a few doubts

Would evita win through

But the answer is yes

There you are I told you so

Makes no difference

Where we go

The whole world over just the same

You should have heard them call our name

And who would underestimate

The actress now

I'm not underestimating you

Just do the same thing in Italy please

Now I don't like to

Spoil a wonderful story

But the news

From Rome

Is not so good

She hasn't gone down

Like we thought she would

Italy's unconvinced

By Argentine glory

They equate peron

With mussolini

Can't think why

Did you hear that

They called me a *****

They actually called me a *****

But senora peron

It's an easy mistake

I'm still called an admiral

But I gave up

The sea

Long ago

Things aren't all that bad

She met with the pope

She got a papal decoration

And a kindly word

So even if the crowd gave

Our lady the bird

The Argentine Italy axis

Does have some hope

She still made a fabulous impact

Caught the eye

Let's hear it for the rainbow tour

It's been an incredible success

We weren't quite sure

We had a few doubts

Would evita win through

But the answer is

A qualified yes

Eva started well no

Question in France

Shining like the sun through

The post war haze

A beautiful reminder

Of the carefree days

She nearly captured the French

She sure had the chance

But she suddenly seemed

To lose interest

She looked tired

Tired Eva tired

Face the facts

The rainbow's

Started to fade

I don't think she'll make it

To England now

It wasn't on the schedule anyhow

Better get

Out the flags

And fix a parade

Some kind of coming home

In triumph

Is required

Let's hear it for the rainbow tour

It's been an incredible success

We weren't quite sure

We had a few doubts

Would evita win through

End the answer is

Yes and no

And yes

And no

And yes

And no

Let's hear it for the rainbow tour

It's been an incredible success
