Evita Soundtrack
Miscellaneous
Rainbow Tour
(PERON and some of his OFFICERS reflect on EVA's
European progress. CHE takes over many of the
OFFICERS' lines during this sequence and also adds
various comments of his own.)

PERON
People of Europe! I send you the Rainbow of Argentina!

CHE
Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita
She can do what she likes--it doesn't matter much
She's our Lady of the New World 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

PERON and OFFICERS
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts.......

CHE
Will Evita win through?

PERON and OFFICERS
But the answer is yes!

Peron
There you are, I told you so
Makes no difference where she goes
The whole world over--just the same
Just listen to them call her name
And who would underestimate the actress now?

CHE
Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
But the news from Rome isn't quite as 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

EVA (in Italy)
Did you here that?
They called me a whore!
They actually called me a whore!

AN ITALIAN ADMIRAL (CHE)
But Signora Peron--
It's an easy mistake
I'm still called an admiral
Yet I gave up the sea long ago

CHE / OFFICERS
More bad news from Rome she met with the Pope
She only got a rosary a kindly word
I wouldn't say the Holy Father gave her the bird
But Papal decorations never a hope
She still looked the part at St. Peter's
Caught the eye

PERON and OFFICERS
Let's hear it for the Rainbow Tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure, we had a few doubts

CHE
Would Evita win through?

PERON and OFFICERS
But the answer is--

CHE
A qualified--

PERON and OFFICERS
Yes!

CHE
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

CHE
Face the facts, the Rainbow's starting to fade
I don't think she'll make it to England now

PERON
It wasn't on the schedule anyhow

CHE
You'd better get out the flags and fix a parade
Some kind of coming home in triumph
Is required.

PERON and OFFICERS
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?

CHE
And the answer is--

PERON and OFFICERS
Yes

CHE
And no

PERON and OFFICERS
And yes

CHE
And no

PERON and OFFICERS
And yes... No
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
Yes
