(Eva:)
To think that a man as famous as you are
Could love a poor little nothing like me
Chorus:
(Eva:)
I wanna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
(Eva`s family:)
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
(Eva`s family:)
What`s that? You`d desert the girl you love?
(Magaldi:)
The girl I love?
What are you talking about?
(Eva`s family:)
She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement
She gave you all she had, she wasn`t in your contract
You must be quite relieved that noone`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
(Eva`s brother:)
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.
(Eva`s brother:)
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 not 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
(chorus)
(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
(Eva and family:)
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 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
