  E                                            
I met her in a club down in old Soho where they

A                      D                      
drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry

E             A
cola  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 voice she said 

E             A    D             C        D  E     E
Lola  L-O-L-A Lola   Lo lo lo lo Lo - la

         B7                                   
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night

Under electric candle light

    A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee

    A
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 eyes, well I almost fell for my

E                 A        D            C       D  
Lola  Lo lo lo lo Lo - la   Lo lo lo lo Lo - la

E                 A        D            C       D  E      E
Lola  Lo lo lo lo Lo - la   Lo lo lo lo Lo - la

  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#7   C#m
I got down on my knees

     B                          B13
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

  I pushed her away, I walked to the door

  I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
        B
  Then I looked at her and she at me
