Verse 1
Her name was Dm Lola, G she was a C showgirl,
with yellow F#m feathers in her B7 hair, and a Em dress cut down to there.
She would Dm meringue, G and do the C cha-cha,
and while she F#m tried to be a B7 star, Tony Em always tended bar.
Across the B7 crowded Em floor they worked from B7 eight till Em four,
they were Am young and they had B7 each other.
Who could Em ask for G more ?
Chorus
At the Dm Copa, G Copacabana, C

Verse 2
His name was Dm Rico G he wore a C diamond,
he was F#m escorted to his B7 chair, he saw Em Lola dancing there.
And when she Dm finished, G he called her C over,
but Rico F#m went a bit too B7 far, Tony Em sailed across the bar.
And then the B7 punches Em flew, and chairs were B7 smashed in Em two,
there was Am blood and a single B7 gunshot,
but just Em who shot G who?

Verse 3
Her name is Dm Lola, G she was a C showgirl,
but that was F#m thirty years B7 ago, when they Em used to have a show.
Now it's a Dm disco, G but not for C Lola,
still in the F#m dress she used to B7 wear, faded Em feathers in her hair.
She sits there so B7 refinEmed, and drinks herB7self half-Emblind.
She lost her Am youth and she lost her B7 Tony
and she's Em lost her G mind
