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
