goose491 0 #1 April 29, 2005 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 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, 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 (Copa Copacabana) His name was Rico, he wore a diamond He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' 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? At the Copa, Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa, Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....she lost her love (Copa. . Copacabana) (Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh) (Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana) (Talking Havana have a banana) (Music and passion...always the fash--shun) 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! At the Copa, Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa, Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa....don't fall in love (Copa) don't fall in love Copacabana Copacabana -Barry Manilow ------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist. This song has been stuck in my head since a shooting at one of my favorite night clubs this past Satruday evening. Cousin to a good friend of mine, Dustin is not only a good bouncer but a friend. He was hit, he'll be fine. An enthusiastic stranger took up the mic last night as Kareokee night started and I ate my dinner. I finished up and left. I got in my car and to my surprise, playing on the radio is an electronic remix version of: Her name was Lola! She was a Showgirl!.... Here I go again!!!! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
