the song's lyrics refer to the copacabana nightclub, "the hottest spot north of havana". the story starts in the late 1940s, focused on lola, a copacabana showgirl, and her sweetheart tony, a bartender at the club. one night, a gangster named rico takes a fancy to lola, but he overplays his hand while trying to seduce her and is attacked by tony. the ensuing brawl results in a shooting; after it is initially unclear "who shot who," it soon becomes clear that tony has died. thirty years later, the club has been transformed into a discotheque, but a drunken lola, mad with grief at having lost tony, still spends her nights at the copacabana dressed in her glamorous showgirl attire.
