Fm7  Bb7   
Her name is Lola    
           Ebmaj7
She was a showgirl
             Am7/5-           D7  
With yellow feathers in her hair
       Gm7
And a dress cut down to there
             Fm7   Bb7
She would merengue
             Ebmaj7
And do the cha-cha
                Am7/5-         D7
And while she tried to be a star
     Gm7                 
Tony always tended bar
            Cm D7   Gm 
Across the crowded floor
                  Cm    D7   Gm
They worked from eight till four
           Cm                     D7
They were young and they had each other
          Gm7  Gbm7 Fm7    
Who could ask for  more

At the Copa,     Copacabana
     Fm7     Bb7           Ebmaj7
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
C7      Fm7  Bb7     Gm7 C7
At the Copa     Copacabana
Fm7        Bb7         Gm7        C7             Fm7   D7
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa    
              Gm7   Gm7  Gbm7  Fm7 
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
