 I met  her in a club down in old Soho where they
drink  champagne and it tastes  just like cherry
cola  C-O-L-A 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  L-O-L-A Lola  Lo lo lo lo Lo  - la
 Well, we drank  champagne and danced all night
Under  electric candle light
 She picked  me up and sat me on her knee
 and said  "dear boy won't you come home with me?"
 Well, I'm  not the world's most passionate guy,
 but when I looked  in her eyes, well I almost  fell for my
Lola  Lo lo lo lo Lo  - la  Lo lo lo lo Lo  - la
Lola  Lo lo lo lo Lo  - la  Lo lo lo lo Lo  - la
 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
 Well, that's  the way that I want it to stay...
 (That's enough; you get the idea. Yeah, I know I skipped a verse...)
 LOLA- The Kinks
 
 I  met her in a club down in old Soho
 Where  you drink champagne  and it tastes just  like cherry  Cola
 C-O-L-A  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
 L-O-L-A  Lola la-la-la-la  Lola
 Well  I'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 drank champagne and danced all night
 Under  electric candlelight
 She  picked me up and sat me on her knee
 And  said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"
 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
 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
