Peer Åström - Copacabana lyrics

Sam: 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? Sam (New Directions): At the copa (copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana) The hottest spot north of Havana (here) At the copa (copa!) Sam with New Directions: Copacabana Music and pa**ion were always the fashion At the copa.... (Sam: they fell in love) New Diretions: Copa, Copacabana Sam with New Directions harmonising: 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 gun shot But just who shot who? Sam (New Directions): At the copa (copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana) The hottest spot north of Havana (here) At the copa (copa!) Sam with New Directions: Copacabana Music and pa**ion were always the fashion At the copa.... (Sam: she lost her love) New Directions: Copa, Copacabana Copa, Copacabana, Copacabana Music and pa**ion, always the fashion Ooooh, oooh, oooh Sam with New Directions harmonising: 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 Sam (New Directions): At the copa (copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana) The hottest spot north of Havana (here) At the copa (copa!) Sam with New Directions: Copacabana Music and pa**ion were always the fashion At the copa.... (Sam: don't fall in love) Sam (New Directions): (Copa) Don't fall in love (Copacabana) Don't fall in love (Copacabana) (Copacabana) Sam with New Directions: Copacaba-a-na
