Ode to Lucy...
Her name was Lucy, 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
But while she tried to be a star,
Disliked always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, he worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love.
His name was Jaffa. He wore a diamond.
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lucy dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over,
But Jaffa went a bit to far,
Disliked 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?
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love.
Copa... Copacabana... music and passion... always the fashion...
Her name was Lucy, 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 Lucy,
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 Disliked,
Now she's lost her mind!
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love.
What Barry Manilow forgot to sing: The next day Lucy ran back into Jaffa's arms and they lived happily ever after. After a thourgh psychiatric assessment, it was concluded that Lucy had not in fact lost her mind, but that she was madly in love with Jaffa.
