Copa Cabana

最初自然是在Friends里面听到这一首的，穿粉红伴娘礼服的Rachel勇敢地在前未婚夫的婚礼上登台亮相（同时可怜地亮出了自己的红内裤……），唱这首她中学唱砸的Copa Cabana，一开始还带着胆怯，唱到She would merengue and do the Cha-Cha时就展露笑颜，找回信心了（欲知详情，请复习Friends第二季 24. TOW Barry and Mindy's Wedding）。

后来在Yutou的space听到大概是Barry Manilow唱的版本，觉得喜欢，便也收藏了。

昨天在山上旅店夜不能寐（大概是太久没在12点之前睡过觉了），听MP3，第一首就是该曲，积郁顿扫，呵呵，遂决定今日贴来做背景音乐：）

歌词如下：

Copa Cabana
——Barry Manilow
　　
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
But while she tried to be a star, Tony 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 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?
　　
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 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!
　　
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.
Don't fall in love....
