Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl |
|
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there |
|
She would merengue and do the cha-cha |
|
And while she tried to be a star, |
|
Tony always tended bar |
|
Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4 |
|
They were young and they had each other |
|
Who could ask for more? |
|
|
|
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana) |
|
The hottest spot north of Havana (here) |
|
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana |
|
Music and passion were always the fashion |
|
At the Copa....they fell in love. |
|
|
|
(Love....Copacabana....) |

|
His name was Rico, he wore a diamond. |
|
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there |
|
And when she finished, he called her over, |
|
But Rico went a bit too far, |
|
Tony sailed across the bar |
|
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two |
|
There was blood and a single gunshot |
|
But just who shot who? |
|

Copa... Copacabana... music and passion... always the fashion... |

|
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl, |
|
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show. |
|
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola, |
|
Still in the dress she used to wear, |
|
Faded feathers in her hair. |
|
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind. |
|
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony, |
|
Now she's lost her mind! |

At the Copa....don't fall in love. |
