Song by John Pinette<br /><br>

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl<br>

With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there<br>

She would merengue and do the cha-cha<br>

But while she tried to be a star,<br>

Tony always tended bar<br>

Across the crowded floor, he worked from 8 til 4<br>

They were young and they had each other<br>

Who could ask for more?<br>

<br>

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)<br>

The hottest spot north of Havana (here)<br>

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana<br>

Music and passion were always in fashion<br>

At the Copa....they fell in love.<br>

<br>

His name was Rico. He wore a diamond.<br>

He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there<br>

And when she finished, he called her over,<br>

But Rico went a bit to far,<br>

Tony sailed across the bar<br>

And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two<br>

There was blood and a single gun shot<br>

But just who shot who?<br>

<br>

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)<br>

The hottest spot north of Havana (here)<br>

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana<br>

Music and passion were always in fashion<br>

At the Copa....she lost her love.<br>

<br>

Copa... Copacabana... music and passion... always the fashion...<br>

<br>

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl,<br>

But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show.<br>

Now it's a disco, but not for Lola,<br>

Still in the dress she used to wear,<br>

Faded feathers in her hair.<br>

She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind.<br>

She lost her youth and she lost her Tony,<br>

Now she's lost her mind!<br>

<br>

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)<br>

The hottest spot north of Havana (here)<br>

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana<br>

Music and passion were always in fashion<br>

At the Copa....don't fall in love.<br>

<br>
