Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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
But while she tried to be a star,
Tony always tended bar

Across the crowded floor, he worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana

At the Copa, 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 chair,
He saw Lola dancing there

And when she finished, he 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?

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana

At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa... she lost her love.

Copa... Copacabana...
Music and passion...
Always in fashion..

Her name was 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 halfblind.

She lost her youth and she lost her Tony,
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana

At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa... don't fall in love

Don't fall in love
