The Lady's Got Potential - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Colm Wilkinson

Che

The lady’s got potential, she ought to go far

She always knows exactly who her best friends are

The greatest social climber since Cinderella

But Eva’s not the only one who’s getting the breaks;

I’m a research chemist who’s got what it takes

And my insecticide’s gonna be a bestseller

Yeah, just one blast and the insects fall like flies

Kapow!

Die!

They don’t have a chance!

In the fly-killing world it’s a major advance!

In my world it’ll mean finance:

I’m shaping up successful Capitalist-wise!

But getting back to Eva, she just saw those guys

As steps on the ladder to the ultimate prize

And he goes by the name of Colonel Peron

He began his career in the army overseas

Teaching all the other soldiers all he knew about skis

When others took a tumble he would always stay on

Yeah, sure Peron could ski, but who needs a snowman?

He said:

Peron

Great men don’t grow on trees!

I’m one, I ain’t gonna freeze!

Dictators Don’t grow on skis!

Che

Peron would be no number two to no man!

He married in the meantime but the poor girl died

Imagine if she hadn’t — we’d have been denied

The heart-warming, tear-jerking rise to fame of Eva

Now my insecticide contains no dangerous drugs

It can’t harm humans, but it’s curtains for bugs

If you’ve got six legs, I ain’t doin' you no favor

Yeah, just one blast and the insects fall like flies!

Kapow!

Die!

They don’t have a chance!

In the fly-killing world it’s a major advance!

In my world it’ll mean finance:

I’m shaping up successful Capitalist-wise!

Yeah, just one blast and the insects fall like flies!

Kapow!

Die!

They don’t have a chance!

In the fly-killing world it’s a major advance!

In my world it’ll mean finance:

I’m shaping up successful Capitalist-wise!

Oh yes, Peron, he joined a faction called the G.O.U

(G — Government, O — Order, U — Unity)

They were the gang behind the military coup

So Peron was a heartbeat away from control of the nation

They thought that Hitler had the war as good as won;

They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun

And Eva set her sights on Peron and his situation

And Eva set her sights on Peron and his situation

Peron

The G.O.U.

is a three pronged operation:

Government, unopposed and allied

With Order ruthlessly appplied

And Unity: those not on our side

Are subject to the process of elimination
