Intro :

C  D  E 

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


          B
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
F#m
Under electric candlelight
      A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
                                B7
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

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