Copacabana (at The Copa) - Barry Manilow lyrics

All the lyrics are property and copyright of it's owners.

Copacabana (at The Copa)
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 ‘til four
they were young and they had each other
who could ask for more


Chorus :

At the copa (COpa) Copacabana (Copacabana)
the hottest spot north of Havana (here at the)
at the copa (COpa) Copa(cabana)
(music and passion were always the fashion At the copa...._
they fell in love  (she lost her love) 2nd
(don't fall in love) 3rd

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 gun shot, but just who shot who?

Repeat Chorus.....

(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

Repeat Chorus 2x…..To Fade
