President Reagan died. by James Marino

  • President Reagan died.

      Oh what a circus! Oh what a show!
      Argentina has gone to town
      Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
      We've all gone crazy
      Mourning all day and mourning all night
      Falling over ourselves to get all
      Of the misery right
    A servant of the people for 16 years of his 93 year life.
      Oh what an exit! That's how to go!
      When they're ringing your curtain down
      Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
      It's quite a sunset
      And good for the country in a roundabout way
      We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
    Eight years as Govenor of California.
      But who is this Santa Evita?
      Why all this howling hysterical sorrow?
      What kind of goddess has lived among us?
      How will we ever get by without her?
    Eight years as the 40th President of the United States.
      She had her moments--she had some style
      The best show in town was the crowd
      Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
      But that's all gone now
      As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
      We're all going to see and how she did nothing for years!
    Repect the man and the service he performed for the United States. But lets not rewrite history.
      ("Oh What A Circus" from Evita. Lyrics by Tim Rice)
