from the songs album Evita Soundtrack (Part 1)
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
