Amanda Lear - Copacabana lyrics

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 Copathey 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 Copashe 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 passionalways the fash -shun)

Her name is 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 sit's there so refined
And drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!
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 Copadon't fall in love

(Copa) don't fall in love copacabana
Copacabana

Etc to end
