[Verse 1]
Her early life's a mystery
She was born in Singapore
In Paris in the seventies
There was trouble with the law
And now as though by accident
She's the face of eighty-four
[Chorus]
Little Eva welcome to the north
Little Eva let freedom be your guide
Little Eva as you sally forth
Little Eva I'll be there your side
Little Eva little Eva a-vee a-vee a-vee a-vee Eva
Eva Eva Eva I'll be there at your side
[Verse 2]
She's the hand of pure coincidence
She's a meeting of the minds
She makes a mockery of consequence
She says leave your cares behind
[Chorus]
Little Eva welcome to the west
Little Eva your wisdom is your song
Little Eva you're here to do your best
Little Eva and will tag along
Little Eva little e a-vee a-vee a-vee a-vee Eva
Eva Eva Eva and I will tag along
[Solo]
E-v-a!
[Verse 3]
She doesn't waste her time on self-defence
Doesn't seek what she can't find
And tell you this in confidence
She brings hope for humankind
[Chorus]
Little Eva welcome to the east
Little Eva I call your name with pride
Little Eva now you've been released
Little Eva I'll stay here by your side
Little Eva little e a-vee a-vee a-vee a-vee Eva
Eva Eva Eva I'll stay here by your side
