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 from8till4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copaļ¼CO!ļ¼,Copacabanaļ¼Copacabanaļ¼
The hottest spot north of Havanaļ¼hereļ¼
At the Copaļ¼CO!ļ¼,Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love
ļ¼Copa Copacabanaļ¼
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 Copaļ¼CO!ļ¼,Copacabanaļ¼Copacabanaļ¼
The hottest spot north of Havanaļ¼hereļ¼
At the Copaļ¼CO!ļ¼,Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love
ļ¼Copa..Copacabanaļ¼
Her name is Lola,she was a showgirl
But that was30years 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 Copaļ¼CO!ļ¼,Copacabanaļ¼Copacabanaļ¼
The hottest spot north of Havanaļ¼hereļ¼
At the Copaļ¼CO!ļ¼,Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love
ļ¼Copaļ¼don't fall in love
Copacabana
Copacabana
