|
|
With yellow feathers in her hair |
|
And a dress cut down to there |
|
|
|
|
And while she tried to be a star |
|
|
|
|
They worked from eight til four |
|
They were young and they had each other |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hottest spot north of Havana (,here) |
|
|
|
|
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He was escorted to his chair |
|
He saw Lola dancing there |
|
|
|
|
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 that was thirty years ago |
|
When they used to have a show |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
