Her Name Was Lola

[cynsaun]

She was a showgirl.

 

[Jolie C]

With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there...


(Cyn!! Birds nesting in the hair! )

 

[luvmydogs]

She would merengue and do the cha cha...

 

[mickey4ver]

At the Copa, 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

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

You forgot some of the lines, mickey4ever.
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar.
Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8-4. They were young and they were in love. Who could ask for more?

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond.....

(following my misplaced lyics )

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

He was escorted to his chair and saw Lola dancing there.

I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
c-o-l-a cola

I'm just going to jump to the good part:

There was blood and a single gunshot, but just who shot who?!

 

[Luckymommyx2]

At the Copa, Copacabana...we're back to the chorus right? Boy I'm going to have this stuck in my head until I go to sleep tonight!

Yup. It's hilarious. The local radio guys here did a parody of it too called The Golden Banana about an overpriced strip club. It's pretty amusing but it's always weird when people call up the station and request it for their , like 8 year olds, which happens often. When I was 8 I didn't know what strip clubs were!

I have also seen the much under-appreciated stage show based on the song and it's characters. The show is simply called Copacabana. It's a fun show. http://www.copacabanatour.com/

But you skipped a few good lines...

And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
and then punches flew and chairs were torn in two

There was blood and a single gun shot, but just who shot who?

(Chorus)

At the copa copa cabana, the hottest spot north of Havana
Here at thecopa, copa cabana. Music and passion were always the fashion at the copa.

(insert the lobngest bridge EVER except may stair way to Heaven)

at the copa, copa cabana, just like havana, have a banana, etc...


Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl but that was 30 years ago when there used to be a show...

(Get to hear this live in October, sitting next to my fellow Fanilow CookieGVB!)
