Lyrics
Copacabana
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 eight to four
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 too far
Tony sailed across the bar
And, then, the punches flew
And chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
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
Copa, Copacabana
Copacabana
Music and passion
Always in fashion
Her name is 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 and she lost her Tony
Now, she's lost her mind!
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion
Were always the fashion
At the Copa
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
De: Luiz Henrique (Ricky)
