Barry Manilow Copacabana Her name was Lola 1978

lola mp3 2014 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 a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa CO!, Copacabana Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana here
At the Copa CO!, 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 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 gun shot
But just who shot who?

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

Copa. . Copacabana
Copa Copacabana Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana
Talking Havana have a banana
Music and passion...always the fash--shun
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!

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

Copa don't fall in love
Copacabana
Copacabana
