Copacabana

Words and music by Barry Manilow

		Her... name... was... Lola,
		She was a show girl
		With yellow feathers in her hair
		And a dress cut down to there
		She would meringue
		And do the cha-cha *(CHA-CHAA!)
		Whils she tried to be a star
		Tony always tended bar
		Across the crowded floor
		They worked from 8 til 4
		They were young and had each other
		Who could ASK FOR MORE?
		 
		At the Copa
		Copacabana
		Hottest spot north of Havana
		Here at the Copa
		Copacabana
		Music and passion were always the fashion
		At the Copa...
		They fell in love.
		GOCK! GOCK! GOCK!
		 
		His name was Rico
		He wore a diamond
		He was escorted to his chaie
		He saw Lola dancing there
		And when she finished
		He called her over
		WHen he went a bit too far
		Tony sailed across the bar
		And then the punchs flew
		And chairs were smashed in two
		There was blood and a single gunshot
		But just WHO SHOT WHO?
		 
		At the Copa
		Copacabana
		Hottest spot north of Havana
		Here at the Copa
		Copacabana
		Music and passion were always the fashion
		At the Copa...
		They lost their love.
		 
		(Drum break)
		 
		Her name was Lola
		SHe was a showgirl
		But that was thirty 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
		Hottest spot north of Havana
		Here at the Copa
		Copacabana
		Music and passion were always the fashion
		At the Copa...
		Don't.. fall... in... love!
