BATUQUE: (F#m Em) F#m Am Cm.. (nota La-Fa)

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl

With yellow feathers in her hair

And a dress cut down the leg

She would merengue and do the cha-cha

And while she tried to be a star,

Tony always tended the bar

Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4

They were young and had each other

Who could ask for more?


At the Copa, Copacabana

The hottest spot North of Havana (here!)

At the Copa, Copacabana

Music and passion were always the fashion

At the Copa... They fell in love


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 to far,

Tony sailed across the bar

And then the punches flew

And chairs were smashed in two

There was blood, a single gun shot

But just: "Who shot who?"

CHORUS

... You lost your love!

LONG SOLO BATUQUE


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!

CHORUS

... Don't fall in love!
