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 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 REPEAT CHORUS

At the copa . don't fall in love don't fall in love

Thunder Rolls

by Garth Brooks

Slide 40

Three thirty in the morning

Not a soul insight

The city's lookin' like a ghost town

On a moonless summer night

Raindrops on the windshield

There's a åstorm moving in

He's headin' back from somewhere

That he never should have been

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'

In a house across town

She's pacin' by the telephone

In her faded flannel gown

Askin' for miracle

Hopin' she's not right

Prayin' it's the weather

That's kept him out all night

And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes

Another love grows cold

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on

Out of control

Deep in her heart

The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window When he pulls into the drive She rushes out to hold him Thankful he's alive

But on the wind and rain

A strange new perfume blows

And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes

Slide 41

And he knows that she knows And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes

Another love grows cold

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on

Out of control

Deep in her heart

The thunder rolls
