Mina - Copacabana lyrics

rate me

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 />

and while she tried to be a star<br />

Tony always tended bar<br />

across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4<br />

they were young and they had each other<br />

who could ask for more?<br />

<br />

CHORUS:<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<br />

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 />

REPEAT CHORUS<br />

<br />

At the copa... she lost her love<br />

<br />

Her name is 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 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 />

REPEAT CHORUS<br />

<br />

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

don't fall in love
