"Copacabana" done 7th Sea style!

Her name was Meli, she was a surgeon
With yellow ribbons in her hair and pants cut down to there
She would flamenco and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Don Lucas always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 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 San Cristobal (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa... they fell in love

(Copa Copacabana)

His name was Don Juan, he wore a clawed arm
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Meli dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Don Juan went a bit too far, Don Lucas 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 San Cristobal (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa... she lost her love

Her name is Meli, she was a surgeon
But that was 3 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a Montaigne Ball, but not for Meli
Still in the pants she used to wear, faded ribbons in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Don Lucas
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of San Cristobal (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa... don't fall in love
(Copa)
Don't fall in love
Copacabana
Copacabana
