Hey, all you females of the Dance-At-Joes persuasion. Please make some
time, and help fix our group ratio so it isn't 15:1 this week. Hmm, but
maybe you could have just picked up that idea from the way this song is
reworded... :-)

Dont forget to wish my roommate a Happy Birthday tonight. John turned 20
today. Please don't get him too drunk, otherwise you will be cleaning up
after him tomorrow. ;)

Copacabana:

Her name is Lola,
She wasn't a dance girl
With yellow highlights in her hair
And a skirt cut down to there.
She couldn't hip-hop
Or do the chicken dance
And while she was new to this bar
Tony moved over from afar
Across a crowded floor
They had classes from eight to four
They were young and knew each other
Who could ask for more?

At Joe's Bar,
in Champurbana
The hottest spot west of Urbana
At Joe's Bar,
in Champurbana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At Joe's Bar,
They sat at the bar...  (Joes, Champurbana... Champurbana)

His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He couldn't find a chair
But he saw Lola sittin' there
And when the song finished
He walked on over
When Rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the drunkards moved
And beers were pounded in twos
There was obvious conflict and shoving
But just who hurt who?

At Joe's Bar,
in Champurbana
The hottest spot west of Urbana
At Joe's Bar,
in Champurbana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At Joe's Bar,
They felt like they couldn't dance... (Joes, Champurbana...music and
passion, always the fashion)

Her name is Lola
She became a dance girl
Even though she wouldn't 30 minutes ago
When everyone was dancing slow
Now the music turned retro
But not just for Lola
Her friends standing there saw the
Yellow highlights in her hair
They dance there in a circular line
And some drink themselves half blind
She found her pals and a friend named Tony
Now she dances with peace of mind

At Joe's Bar,
in Champurbana
The hottest spot west of Urbana
At Joe's Bar,
in Champurbana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At Joe's Bar,
Come dance at Joes...
(Joes, Champurbana...music and passion, always in fashion)
(Joes, Champurbana...Champurbana)
