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
|
