 Barry Manilow - Copacabana (at The Copa) Lyrics

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?

CHORUS:

At the copa [CO!] Copacabana [Copacabana]
the hottest spot north of Havana [here]
at the copa [CO!] Copacabana
music and passion were always in 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
g2o141620p13202312foo16h
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?

REPEAT CHORUS

At the copa she lost her love

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 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

REPEAT CHORUS

At the copa don't fall in love
don't fall in love
