Copacabana Lyrics

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 the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

CHORUS:

At the copa (CO! ) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (CO! ) 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 to far Matteo Brancaleoni - Copacabana - http://motolyrics.com/matteo-brancaleoni/copacabana-lyrics.html
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?

REPEAT CHORUS

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 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

REPEAT CHORUS

At the copa... don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
