EVITA lyrics : "Actress Hasn't Learned The Lines"

[Aristocrats:]
Thus all fairy stories end
Only an actress would pretend

Affairs of state are her latest play
Eight shows a week, two matinees
My how the worm begins to turn

When will the chorus girl ever learn?
My how the worm begins to turn
When will the chorus girl ever learn?


[Eva:]
The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to

hear
She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be
accepted

By making donations just large enough to the correct charity
She won't be president of your wonderful societies of
philanthropy

Even if you asked her to be
As you should have asked her to be


The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to
hear
She won't join your clubs, she won't dance in your

halls
She won't help the hungry once a month at your tombolas
She'll simply take control as you disappear


[Che:]
Forgive my intrusion, but fine as those sentiments sound

Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground
I hate to sound childish, ungrateful, I don't like to
moan

But do you now represent anyone's cause but your own?

[Eva:]

Everything done will be justified by my foundation
