Intro: 2 Takte Gitarre
Vers 1 (nur Gitarrenbegleitung):
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola, see oh el-aye co-la .......
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, el-oh el-aye Lo-la ........
la-la la-la Lo-la
Zwischenspiel: 2 1/2 Takte instrumental (mit voll einsetzendem Rhythmus)
Vers 2:
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 Lo-la
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 Lo-la
La-la la-la Lo-la
Zwischenspiel: 2 1/2 Takte instrumental
1. Zwischenvers:
Well we drank champagne and danced all night under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said: "Dear boy, won't you come home with me ?"
Vers 3:
Well, I'm not the world's most pa*sionate guy,
But when I looked in her eyes, well, I almost fell for my Lola, la-la la-la Lo-la,
La-la la-la Lo-la, Lola, la-la la-la Lo-la, la-la la-la Lo-la
Zwischenspiel: 2 1/2 Takte instrumental
2. Zwischenvers:
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.
Vers 4:
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 Lo-la,
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls,
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except my Lola, la-la la-la Lo-la
3. Zwischenvers:
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 !"
Vers 5:
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 Lo-la,
La-la la-la Lo-la, la-la la-la Lo-la
Schlusssequenz:
Lola, la-la la-la Lo-la, la-la la-la Lo-la, Lola, la-la la-la Lo-la, (repeat and fade away
