Santa Esmeralda - Copacabana 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 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
