Charity Concert; I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You

On this night
Luna Park Stadium, Buenos Aires, January 22, 1944
On this night
A concert in aid of the victims of an earthquake that
Devastated the town of San Juan, Argentina
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays for evermore!

Ladies and gentlemen! Agustin Magaldi! Any minute now
The man of the hour!
You're act hasn't changed much
Neither has yours.

Tonight I'm proud to be the people's spokesman!
You've given help to those who've lost their homes
But more than that conclusively shown
That the people should run their affairs on their own!
Make sure your leaders understand their people!

Peron! Peron! Peron!
Colonel Peron?
Eva Duarte?

I've heard so much about you!
I'm amazed for I'm only an actress (a soldier)
Nothing to shout about (One of the thousands)
Only a girl on the boards (Defending the country he loves)

But when you act, the things you do affect us all
But when you act
You take us away from the squalor of the real world
Are you here on your own?
Yes.

So am I, what a fortunate coincidence
Maybe you're my reward for my efforts here tonight.

It seems crazy but you must believe
There's nothing calculated, nothing planned
Please forgive me if I seem naive
I would never want to force your hand
But please understand
I'd be good for you.

I don't always rush in like this
Twenty seconds after saying hello
Telling strangers I'm too good to miss
If I'm wrong I hope you'll tell me so
But you really should know
I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you.

I won't go on if I'm boring you
But do you understand my point of view
Do you like what you hear, what you see
And would you be good for me too?

I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply
I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you.

PERON
Please go on, you enthrall me!
I can understand you perfectly
And I like what I hear, what I see, and knowing me
I would be good for you too.

I'm not talking of a hurried night
A frantic tumble then a shy goodbye
Creeping home before it gets too light
That's not the reason that I caught your eye
Which has to imply
I'd be good for you
I'd be surprisingly good for you.

(neither seems aware that the other is singing)
There is no-one, no-one at all
Never has been and never will be a lover
Male or female
Who hasn't an eye on
In fact they rely on
Tricks they can try on
Their partner
They're hoping their lover will help them or keep them
Support them, promote them
Don't blame them, you're the same.
