Lola
The Kinks

    I met her in a club down in old Soho
                       A                                     D
    Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like
                E
    Cherry-cola
                   A
    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
 D                 C
    La-la-la-la Lola
                               C D E E

    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

                                 B2
                  Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
                  F#
                  Under electric candlelight
                        A2
                  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
    E
    Lola
                      A
    La-la-la-la Lola
 D                  C
    La-la-la-la Lola
                                C D E E

                                   A2       E      B2
                                I pushed her away
                                  A2        E        B2
                                I walked to the door
                                  A2  E       B2
                                I fell to the floor
                                        E       B2     C#2
                                I got down on my knees
                                        B2
                                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...
