1. Her name was Lola, she was
a showgirl,
F#m B7 Em
with
yellow feathers in her hair, and a dress cut down to there.

and
while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar.

but
Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar.

And then the punches flew, and
chairs were smashed in two,

Now it's a disco, but not for Lola,
