Eva Beware Of The City - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Original Evita Cast

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 not become

Changed, in short they go bad

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, notoriety

I wanna be a part of B.A.​

Buenos Aires, big apple

I’m gonna be a part of B.A.​

Buenos Aires, big apple

She’s gonna be a part of B.A.​

Buenos Aires, big apple

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

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

I’m gonna be a part of B.A.​

Buenos Aires, big apple

She’s gonna be a part of B.A.​

Buenos Aires, big apple

Eva, beware your ambition

It’s hungry and cold

Can’t be controlled

Will run wild

This in a man is a danger 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
