Lyrics I met her in a club down in old Soho Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola 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, 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 walked like a woman but talked 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 She said, "Little 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 Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo 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 Lo lo lo lo Lola Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world Except for Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola Well, I'd left home just a week before And I'd never ever kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand She said, "Little boy, 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, 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 Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
