Okay: laugh if you must: My older sister is a HUGE BArry Amnilow fan. We're going to his concert at MAdison Square Garden tonight.
When I was a kid my mom used to play his Greatest Hits albums and I guess it made me a fan too cuz now I have "THE ULTIMATE MANILOW" cd.
Anyone else? Come on...dont be shy........

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?

Chorus:

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 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 and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

Repeat chorus

At the copa... she lost her love

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 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

Repeat chorus

At the copa... don?t fall in love
Don?t fall in love

Mr. Vernon should go to the concert too so he can update his wardrobe.

We're goin' hoppin'.

Where things are poppin',
The Philadelphia way.

On all the music they play,
On the Bandstand, Bandstaaand.

Barry Manilow is OK but he's no Neil Diamond
