E
I met her in a club down in North Soho 
A                                D                       E
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Cherry Cola 
        A
C-O-L-A Cola. 
E
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance. 
A                         D                           E
I asked her name and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola" 
        A     D        C     D   E   E
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo Lola 

E
Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy, 
A                              D
But when she squeesed me tight she nearly broke my spine 
      E              A
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola 

E
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand 
A                              D
Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man 
      E              A     D        C      D  E  E
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola 

Bm
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night, 
F#m
Under electric candlelight, 
A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee, 
A
She said, "Little boy won't you come home with me?" 

E
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy, 
A
But when I looked in her eyes, 
D                    E
I almost fell for my Lola, 
         A     D        C     D  E  E
Lo lo lo Lola, 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      Ab7       C#m
I got down on my knees. 
B
I looked at her, and she at me. 

E
Well that's the way that I want it to stay. 
A                   D                  E              
I always want it to be that way for my Lola. 
         A
Lo lo lo Lola. 
E
Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls. 
A                            E
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, 
           E              A     D        C
except for Lola. Lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo Lola. 
Bm
Well I left home just a week before, 
F#m
and I never ever kissed a woman before, 
A
Lola smiled and took me by the hand, 
A
she said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man." 
E
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man, 
A                        
but I know what I am and that I'm a man, 
      E
so is Lola. 
         A     D        C
Lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo Lola.
