Copacabana (At The Copa) Her name is Lola she was a showgirl

With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there

She would meringue 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 'til four

They were young and they had each other

Who could ask for more

At the Copa Copacabana

The hottest spot north of Havana

Here at the Copa Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the copa they fell in love

Copa Copacabana

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 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

Copa Copacabana

Copa Copacabana

Copa Copacabana

Music and passion always the fashion

Her name is Lola she was a showgirl

But that was many years ago when they use to have a show

Now it's a disco but not for Lola

Still in the dress she use to wear faded feathers in her hair

She sits there so refined

And drinks herself half blind

She lost her youth and she lost Ter 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

Copa Copacabana

At the Copa Copacabana

The hottest spot north of Havana

At the Copa Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the copa

At the Copa Copacabana

The hottest spot north of Havana

At the Copa Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion
