| Copacabana
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 the crowded floor,
they 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 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?
Repeat chorus
At the copa... she lost her
love
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 dress she used
to wear,
Faded 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
Repeat chorus
At the copa... don’t fall
in love
Don’t fall in love

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as
ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh
Mandy
Well you came and you gave
without taking
but I sent you away, oh
Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped
me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge
of time
I Walked away when love
was mine
Caught up in a world of
uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming,
oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave
without taking
but I sent you away, oh
Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped
me from shaking
And I need you today, oh
Mandy
Yesterday's a dream I face
the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh
Mandy
Well you came and you gave
without taking
but I sent you away, oh
Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped
me from shaking
And I need you today, oh
Mandy |
