ORIGINAL
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
At the copa (CO!) 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 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?
[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 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
[Chorus]
At the
copa... don't fall in love
Don't fall in love.
