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
