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 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

 Chorus 
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?

 Repeat chorus except last line 

She lost her love

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,
But that was 30 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 except last line 

Don't fall in love.
