Lyrics
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 waited 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
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
And 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 split in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
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
Copacabana, Copaca
Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion (music and passion)
Always the fashion (always the fashion)
Oh, Tony
My name is Lola, I was a showgirl
(But that was 30 years ago)
(When you used to have a show)
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in that dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined
And drinks herself half blind
She l- (I lost my youth and I lost my Tony)
(Now I lost my 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
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love (at the Copacabana)
Thank you so much, folks
