Her name was

[Bunchkin]

........................... 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 a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 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 the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love

I hope he's singing that to you instead of me, Nicole. I do like the song though.

Are you watching "I love the 70's" show on MTV?

 

[Mad4Mickey]

Ok I just burst out laughing ( husband is staring at me again) My friend Colleen and I burst out singing that at work sometimes . The whole Vet clinic thinks we are nuts . Thansk for the laugh I really needed it


Wishing you a Tagged Night , cause tagging is cool !

 

[Bunchkin]

His songs always make me smile OR laugh!!!!!


But man where they hot back in the 70's!!!!!!!!!

And NO I'm not watching 'I love the 70's'!!!!

I'm watching School House Rock on DVD. Way cooler!!!!!

 

[browneyes]

I'm watching Lucy. It's way cooler than the I Love the 70's thingy and School House Rock.

Lucy was doing the one where she has the fruit thing on her head. Mamma ma chero, mamma ma chero...

 

[lilboo]

That's one of Barry's best.

Oh but Lucy is the original Lola!!! "Mama, te quiero/ mama te quiero...MaMAAA, te quiero, mama..." and then when the record skips!!!!

 

[browneyes]

I love to see Lucy do that number. Thanks for the help with the lyrics, Ethel. When Lucy sings that song it reminds me of Barry's song for some reason. Maybe because Ricky worked at the Copacabana? And he was from Havana?

Nicole, what's the next song you're going to sing to us?

 

[Bunchkin]

Ok, Sha-Sha-Shannon, another song it is.
I'm still stuck in the 70's though.



Hello, it's me I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me that you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
