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?

REPEAT 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

REPEAT CHORUS

At the copa... don't fall in love
don't fall in love

ok, this was my first one .. got it no sooner then i turned 18 .. which explains why it's colorless now and as faded as it is .. maybe one day i'll have it touched up ..
he used to be all grey, white belly and other white details .. pink nose & in the ears, red tongue, blah blah blah ..
my friends had nicknamed me "thumper" at the time cuz they knew i liked to ... well, do what rabbits do .. i'll let ya imagination run wild w/that one <G> ..


.. this one i got in my early 20's .. originally, it was nothing but the deadybears .. then a few years later i went to have it touched up a bit, and the guy talked me into having the whole flower heart thing done up ..

.. the guy who did the original bears said the orange bibs were made w/a glow in the dark ink .. claimed he made it himself and it would glow under a black light .. ya, well, i tried it one day and i really didnt' see it .. i still don't really see it .. i mean ya, you can see 'em a little bit under a black light, but not to the extent i would have imagined from what he said ..

.. the reason i had one giving the rose to the other was becuz at the time i had made amends with myself .. i had reached the point where i quit beating myself up for bullshit beyond my control and went about my life ..

this is my kanji .. it means insane, or insanity ..

.. i think this one explains itself .. i've been locked up so many times i've lost track .. enough to be considered "legally insane" .. whatever the hell that's supposed to mean, made up by god only knows who ..

my sister was getting her first tattoo and didnt' want to go it alone .. i told her it's no big whoop, won't hurt, blah blah blah ..  but she still insisted i get one with her ..
.. ok, sure, why not ? i'm about due for something new anyway ( these things are sooooo addicting ! and of course, i have an addictive personality to match ) ..
it was really spur of the moment, i had no intention of getting ink when i went w/her to get hers done, but again, hey, why not ? only live once right ?

.. besides, it was late december, so i called it an xmas pressie to myself ..



these two coming up are 2 that i think i would like to have done one day .. not sure where or when, but who knows .. could be tomorrow for all ya know w/me ..

this last one, this is what i'm saving my back for .. if/when i get anything on my back, i want it to be my entire back, none of this here & there crap .. not for my back anyway ..

currently i'm trying to think of something original to get, i'm about due for another .. this one i want to be musically orientated .. notes are so common & blah .. i need something music based that 's more personal, more meaningful ..
.. suggestions ?

i thought it was really clever how they did this
