I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it taste just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A cola
She walked up to me, and she asked me to dance
And when I asked her her name, 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 walk like a woman and talk 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 you come home with me?"
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
When I looked in her eyes, I almost fell for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
L-O-L-A Lola
Well, 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, 'cept for Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Well, I left home just a week before
I 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
L-O-L-A Lola
Lola
L-O-L-A Lola
L-O-L-A Lola
Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Where you drink champagne and it taste just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A cola
