The Lyrics
it won't be easy, you folk are strange,
let me explain what is real
we still need your oil, after, all, ours is done,
you must believe me
all you will get is some trinkets and pearls,
although we sign treaties at times,
it's trick up our sleeves for you
come trade with me, Argentina,
truth is, we do detest you,
all through my school days, my dad's existence
I'll break my promise, so keep your distance
who could se this happen? lead us to such change
couldn't stay all my like back in school
looking at the strippers, staying out of the class
my king of freedom
running around invading everywhere new
but nothing's impressed me at all
just give us your oil or you're through
come trade with me, Argentina,
truth is, we do detest you,
all through my school days, my dad's existence
I'll break my promise, so keep your distance
Have I said two words?
I've not much more than that
I can think of to say to you
(Nothing more to say to you)
But all you gotta do is look at me
To know that not a word is true
come trade with me, Argentina,
truth is, we do detest you,
all through my school days, my dad's existence
I'll break my promise, so keep your distance
let me explain what is real
we still need your oil, after, all, ours is done,
you must believe me
all you will get is some trinkets and pearls,
although we sign treaties at times,
it's trick up our sleeves for you
come trade with me, Argentina,
truth is, we do detest you,
all through my school days, my dad's existence
I'll break my promise, so keep your distance
who could se this happen? lead us to such change
couldn't stay all my like back in school
looking at the strippers, staying out of the class
my king of freedom
running around invading everywhere new
but nothing's impressed me at all
just give us your oil or you're through
come trade with me, Argentina,
truth is, we do detest you,
all through my school days, my dad's existence
I'll break my promise, so keep your distance
Have I said two words?
I've not much more than that
I can think of to say to you
(Nothing more to say to you)
But all you gotta do is look at me
To know that not a word is true
come trade with me, Argentina,
truth is, we do detest you,
all through my school days, my dad's existence
I'll break my promise, so keep your distance

Oh boy, before the original artist cops give you a ticket Madonna did this in/for the movie Evita. Sarah Brightman also did it. Not that it matters because I can't remember TOS well enough to rate this.
well done Mr. Higgins 555
Original artist is Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice and the cast of "Evita"
Thank you, Mr. Ant. I was just about to tell the parody author that the original performer was Madonna. I'm sure that ALW/TR probably wrote it, but the performer is who's important. I wish people would stop putting "Unknown" and "Who Knows" and things like that as the performer name; from now on, if you don't know who performed TOS, do your (bleeping) research.
glad you guys read the song..what about the PARODY?
