Eva beware of the city

Eva: To think that a man as famous as you are

Could love a poor little nothing like me

I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires

Big Apple

Chorus: She wants to be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires

Big Apple

Che: Just listen to that

They're on to you Magaldi

I'd get out while you can

Eva: It's happened at last

I'm starting to get started

I'm moving out with my man

Magaldi: Now Eva don't get carried away

Eva: Monotony past suburbia departed

Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond

Magaldi: Don't hear words that I didn't say

Chorus: What's that

You'd desert the girl you love

Magaldi: The girl I love

What are you talking about

Juan: She really brightened up your out of town engagement

Chorus: She gave you all she had

She wasn't in your contract

You must be quite relieved that no one's told the papers

So far

Eva: I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires

Big Apple

Would I have done what I did

If I hadn't thought

If I hadn't known we would stay together

Juan: Seems to me there's no point in resisting

She's made up her mind you've no choice

Why don't you be the man who discovered her

You'll never be remembered for your voice

Magaldi: The city can be paradise for those who have the cash

The class and the connections what you need to make a splash

The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash

If you were rich or middle class

Eva: Screw the middle classes

I will never accept them

My father's other family were middle class

And we were kept out of sight hidden from view at his funeral

Juan: Do all your one night stands give you this trouble

Magaldi: Eva beware of the city

It's hungry and cold can't be controlled

It is mad

Those who are fools are swallowed up whole

And those who are not become what they should become

Changed

In short they go bad

Eva: Bad is good for me

I'm bored so clean and so ignored

I've only been predictable respectable

Birds fly out of here so why oh why oh why the Hell can't I

I only want variety of society

I wanna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires

Big Apple

Chorus: She wants to be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires

Big Apple

Magaldi: Five years from now I shall come back

And finally say you have your way come to town

But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes

The magical city a younger girl's city a fantasy long since put down

Eva: All you've done to me

Was that a young girl's fantasy

I played your city games alright didn't I

I already know what cooks how the dirty city feels and looks

I tasted it last night didn't I

I'm gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires

Big Apple

Chorus: She's gonna be a part of B.A. Buenos Aires

Big Apple

Magaldi: Eva beware your ambition

It's hungry and cold can't be controlled

Will run wild

This in a man is dangerous enough

But you are a woman not even a woman

Not very much more than a child

And whatever you say I'll not steal you away
