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