Buenos Aires
What's new, Buenos Aires?
I'm new!
I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too
I get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back!
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality
Fill me up with your heat
With your noise
With your dirt
Overdo me
Let me dance to your beat
Make it loud
Let it hurt running through me
Don't hold back
You are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying
Hello, Buenos Aires!
Get this!
Just look at me, dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show
Take me in at your flood
Give me speed
Give me light
Set me humming
Shoot me up with your blood
Wine me up with your nights
Watch me coming
All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because!
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality
And
If ever I go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town, I love you
And
If I need a moment's rest
Give your lover the very best
Real eiderdown and silence
On the 9th February, 1935
In Buenos Aires, a polo match
Between a team of leading Argentine players
And the touring British side
The British ambassador said
He had never seen a social occasion
Quite like it
Even by the standards of Buenos Aires society
The gathering at the polo ground glittered
The rose and the ¿?
The hampers from herrods
The clothes
The diamonds
The crystal
The wines
The procession of mannies from England and France
The result of the match, oh yes
The home team won!
But, as the British ambassador pointed out
That did not reflect badly on British horsemanship
Three of the Argentine players were educated at Eton
You're a tramp
You're a treat
You will shine to the death
You are shoddy
But you're flesh
You are meat
You shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit
I'll find ways of paying
Rio de la Plata!
Florida
Corrientes
Nueve de Julio
All I want to know
Stand back, Buenos Aires!
Because!
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality
I'm new!
I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too
I get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back!
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
