Title: Copacabana (at The Copa) |
| [00:39.84] |
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl |
| [00:48.12] |
with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there |
| [00:56.41] |
she would merengue and do the cha-cha |
| [01:04.69] |
and while she tried to be a star |
| [01:12.97] |
Tony always tended bar |
| [01:21.25] |
across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4 |
| [01:29.53] |
they were young and they had each other |
| [01:37.82] |
who could ask for more? |
| [01:46.10] |
CHORUS: |
| [01:54.38] |
At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana) |
| [02:02.66] |
the hottest spot north of Havana (here) |
| [02:10.94] |
at the copa (CO!) Copacabana |
| [02:19.23] |
music and passion were always in fashion |
| [02:27.51] |
At the copa.... they fell in love |
| [02:35.79] |
His name was Rico |
| [02:44.07] |
he wore a diamond |
| [02:52.35] |
he was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there |
| [03:00.64] |
and when she finished,he called her over |
| [03:08.92] |
but Rico went a bit to far |
| [03:17.20] |
Tony sailed across the bar |
| [03:25.48] |
and then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two |
| [03:33.76] |
there was blood and a single gun shot |
| [03:42.05] |
but just who shot who? |
| [03:50.33] |
REPEAT CHORUS |
| [03:58.61] |
At the copa... she lost her love |
| [04:06.89] |
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl, |
| [04:15.17] |
but that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show |
| [04:23.46] |
now it's a disco, but not for Lola, |
| [04:31.74] |
still in dress she used to wear, |
| [04:40.02] |
faded feathers in her hair |
| [04:48.30] |
she sits there so refined,and drinks herself half-blind |
| [04:56.58] |
she lost her youth and she lost her Tony |
| [05:04.87] |
now she's lost her mind |
| [05:13.15] |
REPEAT CHORUS |
| [05:21.43] |
At the copa... don't fall in love |
| [05:29.71] |
don't fall in love |
| [05:38.00] |
|
