Strophe)
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair & a dress cut down 2 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-ti-four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more
Refrain)
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spor north of Havana
At the Copa, 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 too far Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew
And chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who
Refrain)
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spor north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa
She lost her love....
Copa, copa ca bana
Copa ca bana
Music and passion
Always in fashion
Strophe)
Her name is Lola she was a showgirl
But that was thirty 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
She sits there so refined
And drings herself half blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
and she´s lost her mind
Refrain)
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spor north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa
