Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl
With yellow feath ers 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 eight to four
They were young and they had each other
Who could as k for more?
At the Copa
Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa
Copacaba- na
Music and passion were alw ays the fashion
At the Copa
They fell in love
His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorte d 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 sma shed in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
But just wh o shot who?
At the Copa
Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa
Copacaba- na
Music and passion were alw ays the fashion
At the Copa
(Lola screams)
She lost her love

Her name is Lola
She was a showgirl
But that was thirt y 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 lo st her mind
At the Copa
Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa
Copacaba- na
Music and passion were alw ays the fashion
At the Copa
Don't fall in love
