Copacabana Lyrics by Matteo Brancaleoni

New Life

2012

[Verse 1]
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, copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the copa, copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa they fell in love
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
At the copa, copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the copa, copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa, she lost her love
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
(Copacabana, copacabana)
(She lose her love)
(Copacabana, copacabana)
(She lose her love)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
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 sits there so refined and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind
[Chorus]
At the copa, copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the copa, copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa, don't fall in love
[Outro]
(Copacabana)
At the copa, copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the copa, copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa, don't fall in love
