Copacabana
Barry Manilow

Her name was LOLA, she was a show girl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would marengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star TONY always tender bar
Across the crowded floor, they work from eight till four
They were young and their had each other
Who could ask for more

(Chorus) At the Copa (copa) Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa (copa) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copa
(they fell in love).. (she lost her love).. (don't fall in love)
..... Copa.. Copacabana.....

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 when a bit too far TONY sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chair were smached in two
There was blood and a single gun shot but just who shot who

..... repeat (Chorus).....

Her name is LOLA, she was a show girl
But that was thirty years ago when they used to have a show
Now it the disco but not for LOLA
Still in the dress she used to wear faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined and drinkd herself half blind
She lost her youth and she lost her TONY,
Now she lost her mind

..... repeat (Chorus).....
