Intro: | C D | E |

  E
I met her in a club down in old Soho
          A                      D                     E             A    Asus4 A 
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola. C-O-L-A Cola
    E
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
  A                           D                         E
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
        A   D            C    D  E
L-O-L-A Lola la-la-la-la Lola

      E
Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
             A                            D                     E                 A
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola, la-la-la-la Lola
      E
Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
        A                       D                        E
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man, oh my Lola
            A    D            C    D  E
La-la-la-la Lola, la-la-la-la Lola

        B                                    F#
Well we drank champagne and danced all night under electric candlelight
    A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee and said, "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"

      E
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
           A                          D                  E
But when I looked in her eyes, well I almost fell for my Lola
            A    D            C    D
La-la-la-la Lola, la-la-la-la Lola
E                 A    D            C    D  E
Lola, la-la-la-la Lola, la-la-la-la Lola

  A      E    B      A      E      B
I pushed her away, I walked to the door
  A    E      B            E    G#m   C#m
I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
     B
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    Asus4 A
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola, la-la-la-la Lola
E
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
       A                     D                         E                 A
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola, la-la-la-la Lola

     B                                  F#
Well I left home just a week before and I'd never, ever kissed a woman before
    A
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand and said "Little boy, I'm gonna make you a man"

      E
Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man
      A                      D                        E
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man but so is Lola
            A    D            C    D
La-la-la-la Lola, la-la-la-la Lola
E                 A    D            C    D
Lola, la-la-la-la Lola, la-la-la-la Lola (repeat and fade)
