This has probably been asked many times before, but apparently, I wasn't here yet, so, would any one please have the kindness to give me the lyrics to "Copa Cobana" ? No link please =) and the whole song, not just the few words we can hear on the show.
Many thanks in advance,

the lyric were on... Ohh Wathever !
Her name was Lola She was a showgirl With faded feathers in her hair And a dress cut down to there She would meringue And do the cha-cha But while she tried to be a star Tony always tended bar Across the crowded floor They worked from eight til four They were young and they had each other Who could ask for more?
Chorus :
At the Copa Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa Copacabana Music and passion were always the 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 too far Tony sailed across the bar And then the punches flew The chairs were smashed in two There was blood and a single gunshot But just who shot who?
Chorus :
At the Copa Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copa! She lost her love
(Here is where the cool dance occurs!)
Her name is Lola She was a showgirl But that was thirty years ago When she 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
Chorus :
At the Copa Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copa! Don't fall in love Don't fall in love
See you

Won't she get in a bit of a mess trying to make egg white desserts while dancing in her fancy clothes?

The Merengue would be less messy. At least she wasn't dancing the Mamba or the Malmo, which someone in Yahoo Chat triv *insisted* was the dance in question...

Yay! Nice of you to pop in! :)
It says "Marenge" in the transcript, I've amended my local copy. Thanks.
So Rachel was wrong to sing "yellow feathers" then?
Tennant :):)

No, I don't think so. I think it's "yellow feathers" at the beginning of the song, and "faded feathers" in the end. It makes more sense this way. Look:
"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 (Rach says "AND while she tried to be a star") Tony always tended bar
[...] Who could ask for more? (i.e. : Everything in the garden's rosy at the moment)
[...]
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, she lost her Tony Now she's lost her mind (i.e. : It's all turned around)"
