I^E met her in a club down in old Soho Where you dr^Aink champagne and it ta^Dstes just like ch^Aerry C^Eola A Asus C-O-L-A Cola She wa^Elked up to me and she asked me to dance I as^Aked her her name and in a d^Dark brown voice she s^Aaid L^Eola L-O-L-A Lo^Ala l^Da-la-la-la Lo^Cla ^{D E}

Well I^E'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

CHORUS #1:

Well we dr^Bank champagne and danced all night ^F#mUnder electric candlelight She pi^Acked me up and sat me on her knee And said "Dear boy, won't you co^B7me home with me?"

Well I^E'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 ^ELola la-la-la-la Lo^Ala la^D-la-la-la L^Cola ^{D E}

BRIDGE:

I pu^Ashed h^C#mer aw^Bay, I wa^Alked t^C#mo the d^Boor I f^Aell t^C#mo the f^Bloor, I got d^Eown ^G#mon my k^C#mnees Then I^B 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 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 CHORUS #2: 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 And 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 that I'm a man And so is Lola La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola (from Lola vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround, 1970) (sent by Harlan at harlant@hawaii.edu)
