(That's enough; you get the idea. Yeah, I know I skipped a verse...)
LOLA- The Kinks
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry 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 la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she sqeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine Oh my Lola la-la-la-la 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 la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
CHORUS #1:
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?"
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
BRIDGE:
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 La-la-la-la Lola Girl will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola La-la-la-la Lola
CHORUS #2: 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"
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad that I'm a man And so is Lola La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
(from Lola vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround, 1970)
