1.                 I met her in a club down in old Soho,

                       A                                   D

   where you drink champagne and it tastes just like

                 E                       A

    cherry cola, seeohelay cola.

              E

    She walked up to me and she asked me to dance,

                 A                                           D

    And I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said

        E                    A    D                   C     C-D-E ~ ~

    “Lola,“elohelay Lola,     la la la la Lola.

 

              E

2. 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, la la la la 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      C-D-E ~ ~

    oh, my Lola, la la la la Lola,    la la la la  Lola.

 

                     B7

    Well, we drank champagne and danced all night,

     F#m

    under electric candle light,

              A

    she picked me up and sat me on her knee,

 

    and said, “Dear Boy, won`t you come home with me?“

 

              E

3. 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       C- D -

    Lola, la la la la Lola,     la la la la Lola.

      E                      A   D                    C     C-D-E  ~ ~

    Lola, la la la la Lola,     la la la la Lola.

 

 

       A          E       B7     A        E         B7      A  E         B7

    I pushed her away, I walked to the door, I fell to the floor,

               A   F#m    C#m            H7

    I got down to my knees. Then  I  looked at her and she at me.

              E

    Well, that`s the way that I want it to stay,

              A                        D                            E                     A

    and I always want it to be that way for my Lola, la la la la Lola.

 

      E

4. 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             B7

    Lola, la la la la Lola.  Well,  I     left home just a week before,

            F#m

    and    I`d   never kissed a woman before,

             A

    but  Lola smiled and took me by the hand

 

    and said,“Dear boy, I`m gonna make you a man!“

 

              E

5. 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      C-D-                   + E
