Her name was Lola

She was a showgirl

With yellow feathers in her hair

And a dress cut down to there

She would marengue

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 fellin' love

His name was Rico

He wore a diamond

He was escorted to his chair

He saw Lola dancin' 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

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 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
