Intro
Verse 1
I met her in a club down in old Soho
where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola (or cherry cola)
C-O-L-A, cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L-O-L-A, Lola, Lo lo lo lo lola
Verse 2
Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy
but when she squeezed me tight
she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Verse 3
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
oh my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola
Chorus 1
B7 ***
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
and said 'Dear boy, won't you come home with me'
Verse 4
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
but when I looked in her eye, well I almost fell for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Bridge
A E * B **
I pushed her away
A E * B **
I walked to the door
A E * B **
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Verse 5
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
and I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Chorus 2
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
and said 'dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man'
Verse 6
Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man
but I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
and so is Lola, lo lo lo lo lola Lo lo lo lo Lola
Outro
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
