\begin{verse}
Her name is \[Fm7]Lola \[B&7]
She was a \[E&maj7]showgirl
With yellow \[Am7-5]feathers in her \[D7]hair
And a \[Gm7]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 \[Cm]cro\[D7]wded \[Gm]floor
They worked from \[Cm]eight \[D7]til \[Gm]four
They were \[Cm]young and they had each \[D7]other
Who could \[Gm7]ask \[Gbm7]for \[Fm7]more
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
At the \[Fm7]Copa,\[Bb7] Copac\[Ebmaj7]abana
The \[Fm7]hottest \[Bb7]spot north of \[Ebmaj7]Havana (,here)
\[C7]At the \[Fm7]Copa,\[Bb7] Copac\[Gm7]aban\[C7]A
\[Fm7]Music and p\[Bb7]assion were \[Gm7]always in f\[C7]ashion at the \[Fm7]Copa \[D7]
{eoc}
They fell in \[Gm7]love... \[Gm7] \[F#m7] \[Fm7]
\[Fm7] \[F#m7] \[Gm7] \[Gm7] \[F#m7] \[Fm7] \[F#m7] \[Gm7]
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
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 gunshot
But just who shot who?
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana (,here)
At the Copa, CopacabanA
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa
She lost her love...
\end{chorus}

\begin{verse}
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 refined
And drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
and she's lost her mind
\end{verse}
