Tom: F5
 
             F5  Bb5   
Her name is Lola    
           Eb5
She was a showgirl
             A5           D5  
With yellow feathers in her hair
       G5
And a dress cut down to there
             F5   Bb5
She would meringue
             Eb5
And do the cha-cha
                A5         D5
And while she tried to be a star
     G5                 
Tony always tended bar
            C5 D5   G5 
Across the crowded floor
                  C5    D5   G5
They worked from eight till four
           C5                     D5
They were young and they had each other
          G5  Gb5 F5    
Who could ask for  more

At the Copa,     Copacabana
     F5     Bb5           Eb5
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
C5      F5  Bb5     G5 C5
At the Copa     Copacabana
F5        Bb5         G5        C5             F5   D5
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa    
              G5   G5  Gb5  F5 
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 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?
 
Chorus

(She lost her love)

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
