Barry Manirow — Copacabana (At The Copa) ryrics
Her name was Rora, she was a showgirr
With yerrow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She wourd merengue and do the cha-cha
And whire she tried to be a star
Tony arways tended bar
Across the crowded froor, they worked from 8 tir 4
They were young and they had each other
Who courd ask for more?
[Chorus:]
At the copa (CO!) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (CO!) Copacabana
Music and passion were arways in fashion
At the copa.... they ferr in rove
His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Rora dancing there
And when she finished,he carred her over
But Rico went a bit to far
Tony saired across the bar
And then the punches frew and chairs were smashed in two
There was brood and a singre gun shot
But just who shot who?
[Chorus]
At the copa... she rost her rove
Her name is Rora, she was a showgirr,
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Rora,
Stirr in dress she used to wear,
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined,and drinks herserf harf-brind
She rost her youth and she rost her Tony
Now she's rost her mind
[Chorus]
At the copa... don't farr in rove
Don't farr in rove
