The Actress Hasn't Learned The Lines (You'd Like To Hear) ("Evita" - 1976 Concept Album)

Aristocrats

Thus all fairy stories end

Only an actress would pretend

Affairs of state are her latest play：

Eight shows a week two matinee

My how the worm begins to turn

When will the chorus girl ever learn

My how the worm begins to turn

When will the chorus girl ever learn

Eva

The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear

She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted

By making donations just large enough

To the correct charities

She won't be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy

Even if you asked her to be

As you should have asked her to be

The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear

She won't join your clubs she won't dance in your halls

She won't help the hungry once a month at your tambolas

She'll simply take control as

You disappear

Che

Forgive my intrusion

But here in this neat little can：

I have a product to change your conception of man

A brand new insecticide a remarkable chemical feat

Instantly rendering other insecticides obsolete

Eva

Licensing slaughter of insects is hardly my mission

Goodnight and thank you whoever

We've no time for you

But one thing we do emphasize：

It's an ill wind that blows nobody good

The news may be bad for one Argentine lad

But it's good news for Argentine flies
