At the Copa, Copacabana
Always a passion
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
Copacabana
Don't fall in love
They fell in love
Copa
There was blood and a single gun shot but just who shot who?
Copa, Copacabana
(Copa)
At the Copa, Copacabana
She sits there so refined and drinks herself half blind
She would meringue and do the Cha-Cha
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
She lost her love
At the Copa, Copacabana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Like in Havana
Copacabana
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight till four
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Copacabana
At the Copa
The hottest spot north of Havana
His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
Music and passion were always the fashion
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
But that was thirty years ago when they use to have a show
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa
At the Copa
They were young and they had each other who could ask for more?
Now it's a disco but not for Lola
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Don't fall in love
Music and passion
Copacabana
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished he called her over
Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
Still in the dress she use to wear faded feathers in her hair
The hottest spot north of Havana
Copa, Copacabana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Like a banana
(Copacabana, Copacabana, Copacabana)
Now she's lost her mind
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
