[F] [G] [A]
I [A] met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you [D] drink champagne and it
[G] tastes just like cherry [A] cola
C O L A [D] Cola [Dsus4] [D]
She [A] walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I [D] asked her her name and in a [G] dark brown voice she said [A] Lola
L O L A [D] Lola [G] lo lo lo lo [F] Lola [F] [G] [A]
Well [A] I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she [D] squeezed me tight she nearly [G] broke my spine
Oh my [A] Lola lo lo lo lo [D] Lola [Dsus4] [D]
Well [A] I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she [D] walked like a woman and [G] talked like a man
Oh my [A] Lola lo lo lo lo [D] Lola [G] lo lo lo lo [F] Lola [F] [G] [A]
Well we [E7] drank champagne and danced all night [B7] under electric candlelight
She [D] picked me up and sat me on her knee
She said little boy won't you come home with me
Well [A] I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I [D] looked in her eyes well I [G] almost fell for my [A] Lola
Lo lo lo lo [D] Lola [G] Lo lo lo lo lo [F] Lola [F] [G] [A]
I [D] pushed [A] her a[E7] way I [D] walked [A] to the [E7]door
I [D] fell [A] to the [E7] floor I got [A] down [C#7] on my [F#m] knees
Then [E7] I looked at her and she at me
Well [A] that's the way that I want it to stay and
I [D] always want it to [G] be that way for my [A] Lola lo lo lo lo [D] Lola [Dsus4] [D]
[A] Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a [D] mixed up muddled up [G] shook up world
Except for [A] Lola lo lo lo lo [D] Lola
Well [E7] I left home just a week before
And [B7] I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But [D] Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well [A] I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I [D] know what I am and I'm [G] glad I'm a man
And so is [A] Lola lo lo lo lo [D] Lola [G] lo lo lo lo [F] Lola [F] [G] [A]
[A] Lola lo lo lo lo [D] Lola [G] lo lo lo lo [F] Lola [F] [G] [A]
[A] Lola lo lo lo lo [D] Lola [G] lo lo lo lo [F] Lola [F] [G] [A]
