Eva:)   Could love a poor little nothing like me      To think that a man as famous as you are   Chorus:      I wanna be a part of B.A.   (Eva:)   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      Now Eva don't get carried away   (Magaldi:)      (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      I wanna be a part of B.A.   (Eva:)   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:)   My father's other family were middle class   Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!   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
