Lyrics and Chords
Intro: / C CD E - /
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola
See-oh-el-aye 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"
El-oh-el-aye Lola, la la la la Lola
/ E - / A D / E - A - / E - / A D / E - A D C CD E /
Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed 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 and 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
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
She said, little boy won't you come home with me
/ B7 - / F#7 - / A - / A7 - /
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
Lola, la la la la Lola, la la la la Lola
I pushed her away, I walked to the door
I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
/ AE B7 AE B7 / AE B7 EB7 F#7 / B7 - /
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La la la la Lola
Girls 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
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said, dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the world's 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
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
{Repeat to fade}
