I met her in a club down in old Soho where you drink champagne
           D                 A      E                       A       A4 |||   A
And it tastes just like cherry Cola C-O-L-A Cola
       E
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
    A                                       D                               A    E
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
                A    D      A     C2|...|...|||| D2 E
L-O-L-A Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
                      A                                       D
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
A         E                     A       A4 |||   A
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
       E                                                                 A
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand why she walked like a woman
       D                       A        E                     A     D      A     C2|...|...|||| D2 E

Well we drank champagne and danced all night, under electric candlelight
      A3
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
A7(3)
Said dear boy won't you come home with me
        E                                                                           A
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy but when I looked in her eyes
          D              A       E                       A     D     A     C2|...|...|||| D2 E
Well I almost fell for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

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

        E
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
          A                    D                A        E                      A       A4 |||   A
And I always want to be that way for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola
E                                                                 A
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls it's a mixed up muddled up
D                       A             E                      A     D       A     C2|...|...|||| D2 E

        B                                                  F#
Well I left home just a week before and I'd never ever kissed a woman before
      A3
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
     A7(3)
Said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

        E
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
         A                                D                     A            E
But I know what I am, I'm a man, I'm a man and so is Lola
