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 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, (Co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
 The hottest spot north of Havana, (here)
 At the Copa, (Co) Copacabana (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 saw Lola dancin' 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 smashed in two
 There was blood and a single gun shot
 But just who shot who?
 At the Copa, (Co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
 The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
 At the Copa, (Co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
 Music and passion were always the fashion
 At the Copa (scream) she lost her love (Copa, Copacabana)
 ♪
 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, (Co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
 The hottest spot north of Havana, (here)
 At the Copa, (Co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
 Music and passion were always the fashion
 At the Copa ... don't fall in love
 ♪
 Don't fall in love
