   E
I met her in a club down in old Soho
            A                     D
where you drink champagne and it tastes
           E
just like Coca Cola
           A   Asus4 A
C-O-L-A, cola
     E
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
  A                            D
I asked her her name and in a dark brown
                E
voice she said Lola
          A   D             C  D  E
L-O-L-A, Lola, Lo lo lo lo lola

     E
Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy
               A
but when she squeezed me tight
             D                    E
she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola
             A   Asus4 A
Lo lo lo lo Lola

     E
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
         A                       D
why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
       E
oh my Lola
             A  D             C  D E
Lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola

Chorus:
          B7
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
F#
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
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
            A                        D
but when I looked in her eye, well I almost
             E
fell for my Lola
             A  D             C  D
Lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola
E                  A   D            C    D E
Lola, Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

   A      E    B
I pushed her away
   A      E      B
I walked to the door
   A    E       B
I fell to the floor
       E   G#m   C#m
I got down on my knees
     B7
Then I looked at her and she at me

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:
Well, I'd left home just a week before
And I'd never, ever kissed a woman before
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said, "Little boy, 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
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
Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lola
