Lyrics[]

Harmony:
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

Harmony (with The Unitards):
(I get out here,) Buenos Aires

Harmony with The Unitards:
Stand back!
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me

Harmony:
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
Run it through me

Don't hold back
You are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying

Harmony (with The Unitards):
(Hello,) Buenos Aires!

Harmony with The Unitards:
Get this! Just look at me
Dressed up, somewhere to go

Harmony:
We'll put on a show!

Take me in at your flood
Give me speed, give me lights
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

Harmony with The Unitards:
Stand back, Buenos Aires!
Because you oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

Harmony:
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

The Unitards:
Param, param, param, param, param
Param, param, param, param, param
Param, param, param, param, param
Param, param, param, param, param

Harmony with The Unitards:
You're a tramp, you're a treat, you will shine to the death

Harmony:
You are shoddy!

Harmony with The Unitards:
But you're flesh, you are meat, you shall have every breath

Harmony:
In my body!
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit; I'll find ways of paying

Harmony with The Unitards:
Río de la Plata!
Florida! Corrientes! Nueve de Julio!

Harmony:
All I want to know

Harmony with The Unitards:
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!
