Lyrics

I met her in a club down in old Soho Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola See-oh-el-aye 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 El-oh-el-aye Lola La-la-la-la 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 la-la-la-la 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 La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la 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 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 Girls 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 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 La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola
