1. Her name is Lola She was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair & 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 crowd- ed floor
They worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more
Chorus: At the Copa, Copa- cabana
The hot- test spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copa- cabana
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa
They fell in love… x 3
2. His name was Rico He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair He saw Lola dan- cing there
And when she finished He called her over
But Rico went a bit too far Tony sailed across the bar
And then the pun- ches flew
And chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who?
Chorus: At the Copa, Copa- cabana
The hot- test spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copa- cabana
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa
They fell in love… x 3
Copa copa cabana
Copcabana
Mu- sic and passion
Al- ways in fash…ion

Her name is Lola She was a showgirl
But that was thirty 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 re- fined
And drinks herself half- blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
and she’s lost her mind
Chorus: At the Copa, Copa- cabana
The hot- test spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copa- cabana
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa
