Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl |
|
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there |
|
She would meringue 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 'til four |
|
They were young and they had each other |
|
Who could ask for more? |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
The hottest spot north of Havana |
|
Here at the Copa, Copacabana |
|
Music and passion were always the 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 and a single gun shot |
|
But just who shot who? |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
The hottest spot north of Havana |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
Music and passion were always the fashion |
|
At the copa she lost her love |
|
Copa, Copacabana |
|
Copa, Copacabana |
|
Copa, Copacabana |
|
Like a [Incomprehensible] have a banana |
|
Music and passion always the fashion |
|
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl |
|
But that was many years ago when they use to have a show |
|
Now it's a disco but not for Lola |
|
Still in the dress she use to wear faded feathers in her hair |
|
She sits there so refined |
|
And drinks herself half blind |
|
She lost her youth and she lost Ter tony |
|
Now she's lost her mind |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
The hottest spot north of Havana |
|
At the Copa, Copacabana |
|
Music and passion were always the fashion |
|
At the copa don't fall in love |
|
Copa, Copacabana, Copacabana, Copacabana |
|
Copa, Copacabana, Copacabana, Copacabana |
|
Copacabana, Copacabana, Copacabana, Copacabana |
|
Copacabana |
