E  
I met her in a club down in old Soho  
                A                 D                   E                             
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola  
           A  
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 bedroom voice she said  
E                  A    D              C      C (strumming) D     E  
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
  
       E  
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy  
                    A               D  
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine  
          E                   A  
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
       E  
Well I?m not dumb but I can?t understand  
             A                  D  
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man  
          E               A    D              C      D     E  
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola    lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
  
            B7  
Well we drank champagne and danced all night  
F#7  
Under electric candlelight  
      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 lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
E                  A    D              C      D      E  
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
  
  
  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  
Then I looked at her and she at me  
  
       E (picking)  
Well that?s the way that I want it to stay  
        A                        D  
And I always want it to be that way for my  
E                   A  
lola Lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
E  
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls  
        A                              D  
It?s a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for  
E                    A  
lola Lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
  
      B7 (strumming)  
Well I left home just a week before  
      F#7  
And I?d never ever ever kissed a woman before  
      A  
But lola smiled and took me by the hand  
      A  
And said dear boy I?m gonna make you a man  
  
       E  
Well I?m not the world?s most masculine man  
        A                                  D  
But I know what I am and I?m glad I?m a man and so is   
E                  A    D              C      D      
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
E                  A    D              C      D      
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
E                  A    D              C      D      
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
E                  A    D              C      D      
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
E                  A    D              C      D      
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
E                  A    D              C      D      
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola  
E                  A    D              C      D      
lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola   lo-lo-lo-lo lola
