COPACABANA – BARRY MANILOW

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl (Copa, Copacabana)

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