|
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? |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana) |
|
The hottest spot north of Havana (here) |
|
At the copa (CO!) Copacabana |
|
Music and passion were always in fashion |
|
At the copa.... they fell in love |
|
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 to 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? |
|
[Chorus] |
|
At the copa... she lost her love |
|
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 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 |
|
[Chorus] |
|
At the copa... don't fall in love |
|
Don't fall in love |
