Lyrics:

Her name was lola, she was a showgirlbr /With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to therebr /She would merengue and do the cha-chabr /And while she tried to be a starbr /Tony always tended barbr /Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4br /They were young and they had each otherbr /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!) copacabanabr /Music and passion were always in fashionbr /At the copa.... they fell in lovebr /br /His name was ricobr /He wore a diamondbr /He was escorted to his chair, he saw lola dancing therebr /And when she finished,he called her overbr /But rico went a bit to farbr /Tony sailed across the barbr /And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in twobr /There was blood and a single gun shotbr /But just who shot who? br /br /Repeat chorusbr /br /At the copa... she lost her lovebr /br /Her name is lola, she was a showgirl,br /But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a showbr /Now it's a disco, but not for lola,br /Still in dress she used to wear,br /Faded feathers in her hairbr /She sits there so refined,and drinks herself half-blindbr /She lost her youth and she lost her tonybr /Now she's lost her mindbr /br /Repeat chorusbr /br /At the copa... don't fall in lovebr /Don't fall in love
