Copacabana

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl

With faded feathers in her hair and a dress cut down her leg

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

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the Copa, she fell in love

(Copa, Copacabana)

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 too far, Tony sailed across the bar

And then the punches flew and chairs were smashing too

There was blood and a single gunshot

But just who shot who?

At the Copa (Co), Copacabana (Copacabana)

The hottest spot north of Havana (Here)

At the Copa (Co), Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the Copa, she lost her love

(Copa, Copacabana)

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl

But that was thirty years ago, when there used to be a show

Now it's a 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 love 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

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the Copa (Co), Copacabana (Copacabana)

The hottest spot north of Havana (Here)

At the Copa (Co), Copacabana
