She was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And a dress cut down to there
She would merenque
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 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
Ensemble: At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Stephen: They fell in love
Lola: His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
Sam: He was escorted to his chair
He saw Lola dancing there
Gladys: And when she finished
He called her over
Conchita: But Rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
Rico: And then the punches flew
And chairs were smashed in two.
Stephen: there was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who?
