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 'til four |
|
They were young and they had each other |
|
Who could ask for more |
|
At the Copa (copa) Copacabana |
|
(copacabana) |
|
The hottest spot north of Havana (here) |
|
At the Copa (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 dancin' there |
|
And when she finished |
|
He called her over (whistle) |
|
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 (copa) Copacabana |
|
(copacabana) |
|
The hottest spot north of Havana (here) |
|
At the Copa (copa) Copacabana |
|
Music and passion were always the fashion |
|
At the Copa (scream) |
|
She lost her love |
|
(copa copacabana) |
|
(copa copacabana) |
|
(copacabana) |
|
(a-a-a-h-h-h...) |
|
(a-a-a-h-h-h...) |
|
(a-a-a-h-h-h...) |
|
(aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh) |
|
(copa copacabana) |
|
(like in Havana) |
|
(have a banana) |
|
(music and passion) |
|
(always the fashion) |
|
Her name is Lola |
|
She was a showgirl |
|
But that was thirty years ago |
|
When they used to have a show |
|
Now it's the 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 (copa) Copacabana |
|
(copacabana) |
|
The hottest spot north of Havana (here) |
|
At the Copa (copa) Copacabana |
|
Music and passion were always the fashion |
|
At the Copa ... |
|
Don't fall in love (copa) |
|
Don't fall in love |
|
