WE'VE COME TO THE COPA
>From the film "Copacabana" (1947)
(Sam Coslow)


The Copa Girls (Film Soundtrack) - 1947





We've come to the Copa to be discovered
We've come to the Copa to be found and to get around
Another Grable or Garson may be uncovered
And soon, soon, soon we'll be Hollywood bound
Hollywood, Hollywood bound

We're waiting for Goldwyn and David O. Selznick
For Leo McCarey and the rest
They'll find me willing and able to sign a contract
Last call for a cinema chance, a cinema chance

I could emote and lay my soul bare
Something like Miss Claudette Colbert
Make you put a hanky to your eye
What's another Alice Faye worth
Or another Rita Hayworth
If Jane Russell made it, so can I
