wademcgillis on October 16, 2024 2:03 pm I don’t know any of the song past the famous first two lines, so I looked it up and here’s how it goes: Lola was a showgirl at the Copacabana bar where Tony was the bartender. They fell in love. Rich dude named Rico goes there and takes a liking to Lola but gets way too handsy. Tony starts throwing hands with Rico but gets shot and dies. Thirty years later the Copacabana is a disco. Lola goes there as a customer all of the time, still wearing her old showgirl outfit. She drinks herself blind. Don’t fall in love at the Copacabana.
