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 a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4

　　They were young and they had each other

　　Who could ask for more?

　　At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)

　　The hottest spot north of Havana (here)

　　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 dancin’ 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?

　　At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)

　　The hottest spot north of Havana (here)

　　At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana

　　Music and passion were always the fashion

　　At the Copa....she lost her love

　　(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)

　　(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)

　　(Talking Havana have a banana)

　　(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)

　　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!

　　At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)

　　The hottest spot north of Havana (here)

　　At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana

　　Music and passion were always the fashion

　　At the Copa....don’t fall in love

　　(Copa) don’t fall in love

　　Copacabana

　　Copacabana
