Copacabana

Music: Barry Manilow/Bruce Sussman/Jack Feldman Lyrics: Barry Manilow/Bruce H. Sussman/Jack a Felman 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 a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4 They were young and they had each other Who could ask for more? At the Copa , Copacabana The hottest spot north of 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 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 , Copacabana The hottest spot north of 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 showgirl But that was 30 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 drinks herself half-blind She lost her youth and she lost her Tony Now she’s lost her mind! At the Copa , Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa , Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....don’t fall in love Copacabana Copa Copacabana
