Copa Cabana

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
Although she tried to be a star

Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor
They worked from eight till four
But they were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the copa (copa)
Copa cabana (copa cabana)
The hot española favana
(Here) at the copa (copa)
Copa cabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa

She fell in love
(Oooh)
(Copa cabana)

His name was rico
He wore a diamond
He was a star there 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 gunshots flew
A chance was smashed in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who?

At the copa (copa)
Copa cabana (copa cabana)
The hot española favana
(Here) at the copa (copa)
Copa cabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa
(Aaaaah)
She lost her love
She lost her love

Her name is lola
She was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago, when she 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 refined
And drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her tony
Now she's lost her mind

At the copa (copa)
Copa cabana (copa cabana)
The hot española favana
(Here) at the copa (copa)
Copa cabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa

Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
