Copacabana

Her name is Lola
She was a Show girl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And the dress cut down to there
She would merengue
And do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony's always tended bar
Across the crowded floor
They worked from eight to four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest but nor the Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa
They fell in love

His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he solved all the dancing blair
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 tears were smashed in two
And there was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest but nor the Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa
She lost her love

Her name is Lola
She was a show girl
But that was many years ago
When they used to have a show
Now It's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
And since there's soaring fun
And drinks herself have fun
She lost her youth, she lost her tony
And shes lost her mind

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest but not the Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music ans passion were always the fashion
At the Copa
Don't fall in love
