The statue in the harbor is a lovely sight   The Rockettes in precision are a sheer delight   But I for one would rather visit John McKnight   Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa   Meet me at the Copa tonight      There are those who just adore the Art Museum   And out in Brooklyn, there's a Ballpark and a team   But I don't care a whole lot if I never see 'em   Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa   Meet me at the Copa tonight      The show goes on, and on, and on   Do you hear the applause and the cheering?   Even if you're wooing, drop what you're doing   Hurry down to see what you're hearing      On 52nd street, they now have burleque   Or you can climb the Empire State to see the view   But all that stuff's for squares, here's my advice to you   Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa   Meet me at the Copa tonight      Now some of you may like to go to movie shows   Or walk along Fifth Avenue to view the clothes   But here's the place that's famous for Durante's nose   Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa   Meet me at the Copa tonight      You'll see the nicest people in the nicest cars   They've come to see the lounge, the club, the lovely bars   And it's the spot where stars come just to see the stars   Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa   Meet me at the Copa tonight      The show goes on, and on, and on   Do you hear the applause and the cheering?   Even if you're wooing, drop what you're doing   Hurry down and see what you're hearing      The most amazing club in town you will admit   It's imitated quite a lot but this is it   And if you wanna see where all the new acts hit   Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa   Meet me at the Copa tonight
