Copacabana Lyrics
Copacabana - Matteo Brancaleoni
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
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 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 copa she lost her love
Copa copacabana
Copa copacabana copacabana ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh copa copacabana
Talking havana have a banana
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 weaded feathers in her hair
She sits 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 copa don't fall in love
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 copa don't fall in love
