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 lo-lo-lo-lo lola

well i’m not the world’s most physical guy
but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
well i’m not dumb but i can’t understand
why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

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 [bad word] 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 lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo 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
lo-lo-lo-lo lola
girls will be boys and boys will be girls
it’s a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
lo-lo-lo-lo lola

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 i’m a man
and so is lola
lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
