Barry Manilow - Copacabana Lyrics

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 till four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa, (Copa) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa, (Copa) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, they fell in love (Copa, Copacabana)

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, (Copa) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa, (Copa) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, she lost her love (Copa, Copacabana)

(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, (Copa) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa, (Copa) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa, don't fall in love (Copa, Copacabana)
Don't fall in love (Copacabana, Copacabana)

(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copacabana, Copacabana)
