Copacabana lyrics

Home >> Artists starting with B >> Barry Manilow Lyrics >> Copacabana

Her name was lolashe 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 floorthey worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

Chorus:

At the copa (co!) copacabana (copacabana)
The hottest spot north of havana (here)
At the copa (co!) copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the copa.... they fell in love

His name was rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chairhe saw lola dancing there
And when she finishedhe called her over

But rico went a bit to 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

At the copa... she lost her love

Her name is lolashe was a showgirl
But that was 30 years agowhen they used to have a show
Now it's a discobut not for lola
Still in dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refinedand drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her tony
Now she's lost her mind

Repeat chorus

At the copa... don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
