Copacabana (At The Copa) (Acoustic)

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 the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 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 dancing there
and when she finished, he called her over
but Rico went a bit to 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

2,3,4

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl,
but that was many 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, she lost her Tony
now she's lost her mind

At the copa, Copacabana
music and passion were always the fashion
