"Copacabana" by Barry Manilow

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 , Copacabana 
The hottest spot north of Havana 
At the Copa , 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 , Copacabana 
The hottest spot north of Havana 
At the Copa , Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love

 Copacabana, ahh   ahh   ahh    ahh

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now its 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 shes lost her mind!

At the Copa , Copacabana 
The hottest spot north of Havana 
At the Copa , Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....dont fall in love

 dont fall in love
Copacabana
