Copacabana (At the Copa)
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirlWith yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to thereShe would merengue and do the Cha-ChaAnd while she tried to be a starTony always tended barAcross the crowded floor, they worked from eight 'til fourThey were young and they had each otherWho could ask for more?
At the Copa (Co!), Copacabana (Copacabana)The hottest spot north of Havana (here)At the Copa (Co!), CopacabanaMusic and passion were always the fashionAt the Copa ... they fell in love
His name was RicoHe wore a diamondHe was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing thereAnd when she finished, he called her overBut Rico went a bit too farTony sailed across the barAnd then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in twoThere was blood and a single gun shotBut just who shot who?
At the Copa (Co!), Copacabana (Copacabana)The hottest spot north of Havana (here)At the Copa (Co!), CopacabanaMusic and passion were always the fashionAt the Copa ... she lost her love
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirlBut that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a showNow it's a disco, but not for LolaStill in the dress she used to wearFaded feathers in her hairShe sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blindShe lost her youth and she lost her TonyNow she's lost her mind
At the Copa (Co!), Copacabana (Copacabana)The hottest spot north of Havana (here)At the Copa (Co!), CopacabanaMusic and passion were always the fashionAt the Copa ... don't fall in love!
[Repeat Chorus]
