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 eight till four |
|
They were young and they had each other |
|
Who could ask for more? |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
(Copa, Copacabana) |
|
The hottest spot North of Havana |
|
(Here) |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
(Copa) |
|
Music and passion were always in fashion |
|
At the Copa, they fell in love |
|
(Copa, 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 in a single gun shot |
|
But just who shot who? |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
(Copa, Copacabana) |
|
The hottest spot North of Havana |
|
(Here) |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
(Copa) |
|
Music and passion were always in fashion |
|
At the Copa, she lost her love |
|
(Copa, Copacabana) |
|
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl |
|
But that was thirty 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, Copacabana |
|
(Copa, Copacabana) |
|
The hottest spot North of Havana |
|
(Here) |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
(Copa) |
|
Music and passion were always in fashion |
|
At the copa, don't fall in love |
|
(Copa, Copacabana) |

Copacabana |

|
Copacabana |
