Copacabana lyrics

by

Nicki Minaj


[SAM]
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 the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

[SAM (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
At the copa (Copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (Here)
At the copa (Copa!)

[SAM with NEW DIRECTIONS, (SAM)]
Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa... (They fell in love)

[NEW DIRECTIONS]
Copa, Copacabana

[SAM with NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]
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 gun shot
But just who shot who?
[SAM (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
At the copa (Copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (Here)
At the copa (Copa!)

[SAM with NEW DIRECTIONS, (SAM)]
Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa... (She lost her love)

[NEW DIRECTIONS]
Copa, Copacabana
Copa, Copacabana, Copacabana
Music and passion, always the fashion
Ooooh, oooh, oooh

[SAM with NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]
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
[SAM (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
At the copa (Copa!) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (Here)
At the copa (Copa!)

[SAM with NEW DIRECTIONS]
Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa.... (Don't fall in love)

[SAM (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
(Copa) Don't fall in love (Copacabana)
Don't fall in love (Copacabana)
(Copacabana)

[SAM with NEW DIRECTIONS]
