her name was lola
she was a showgirl
with yellow feathers in 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 eight 'til four
they had youth
and they had each other
who could ask for more
chorus
his name was rico
he wore a diamond
he was escorted to his chair
he saw lola dancing there
Please correct me if I'm wrong and add
what i'm missing.

Then the chairs were smashed it two
There was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who
CHORUS
Her name Lola
She was a show girl
But that was 30 years ago
Now it's the Disco
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she lost her mind
CHORUS
THis is all from memory, so I'm not 100% and as you can see there are gaps

he called her over,
but Rico went a bit too far
and so he sailed across the bar.

Yes, I agree. I think some stuff is missing. Even so, thanks.

Copacabana: Barry Manilow
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
But while she tried to be a star,
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, he worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
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?

Her name was 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!

Title: Copacabana
Music-Lyrics: Sussman, Feldman - Sussman, Feldman
Year: 1978
He 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 eight til four.
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
REFRAIN:
At the Copa, Copacabana,
The hottest spot north of Havana.
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa..
(1) They fell in love.
(2) She lost her love.
(3) Don't fall 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 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?
(REFRAIN)
Her name was 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,
Now she's lost her mind!

OF HER TONY AND DRINKING]

Her name was 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,
Now she's lost her mind!
At the Copa, Copa Cabana
The hottest spot North of Havana
At the Copa, Copa Cabana
Music and fashion were always the passion
At the Copa....don't fall in love.
Enjoy!

She sits there so refined
And drinks herself half-blind.
She lost her love; she lost her Tony.
Now, she's lost her mind.
