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 eight til four
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 pa**ion 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
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 fell in love Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,
But that was thirty 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 [Chorus] At the Copa, don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
