Buenos Aires (From "Evita")
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
Fill 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
Wine 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 oughta 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 the very best
Real eiderdown and silence
Param, param, param, param, param
Param, param, param, param, param
Param, param, param, param, param
Param, param, param, param, param
You're a tramp, you're a treat, you will shine to the death
You are shoddy!
But you're 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
Río 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!
