Copacabana

Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast

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:

Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the copa.... (Sam: they fell in love)



New Diretions:

Copa, Copacabana



Sam with New Directions harmonising:

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:

Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the copa.... (Sam: she lost her love)



New Directions:

Copa, Copacabana

Copa, Copacabana, Copacabana

Music and passion, always the fashion

Ooooh, oooh, oooh



Sam with New Directions harmonising:

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.... (Sam: 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:

Copacaba-a-na
