Co pa 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
And while she tried to be a star, Tony 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 Havana (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 Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too 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 the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love
(Copa. . Copacabana)
(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)
(Talking Havana have a banana)
(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)
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!
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (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 (At The Copa)

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!

Barry Manilow
artist: Barry Manilow lyrics
title: Copacabana (At The Copa)
albums: Barry Manilow Greatest Hits, Even Now, Manilow Greatest Hits - The Platinum Collection, Ultimate Manilow, The Essential 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
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?
[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
[Chorus]
At the copa... don't fall in love
Don't fall in love

I first heard the Barry Manilow version. He is the one who made it popular. You can find the lyrics for his version at: http://www.lyricsdepot.com/barry-manilow/copacabana.html
Check out this page for the lyrics: http://search.lyrics.astraweb.com/?word=copa+cabanna
You select the song and find the singer, then you select the album that the song was on and finally you select the song and then the lyrics are given to you. There are helpful prompts that will lead the way.
You can find the versions done by Frank Sinatra and De La Soul or Rick Martin, but they are probably not the ones you are thinking of.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copacabana_(song)
"Copacabana is a 1978 disco song by Barry Manilow. Written by Jack Feldman, Barry Manilow, Bruce Sussman.
It is also known as At the Copa after the first few words of the refrain. The song is named after its setting, the New York City nightclub Copacabana.
In 1985, Manilow starred in a CBS television special virtually bringing the song to life as a musical. It was recently revived on West End, London.
The song tells the tragic story of Lola, a showgirl, and her lover Tony, a barman at the club."
So Barry Manilow did the song, that is closest to the title that you gave, in 1978.
