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
