E A
I met her in a club down in old Soho where you drink champagne
D E A
and it tastes just like cherry Cola C-O-L-A Cola
E A
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name
D E A D C D E
and in a dark brown voice she said Lola L-O-L-A Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
(E A D E A)
(E A D E A D C D E)
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she sqeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
F#m
Under electric candlelight
A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee

And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"
(E A D E A D C D E)
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
A B A B
I pushed her away, I walked to the door
A B E C#m
I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
B
Then I looked at her and she at me
(E A D E A)
(E A D E A D C D E)
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girl will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Well I left home just a week before
F#m
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before

But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
B
And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"
(E A D E A D C D E)
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad that I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
(E A D E A D C D E)
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
