[Intro]
C D E
[Verse 1]
E I met her in a club down in old Soho A D E where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola (or cherry cola) A Asus4 A 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 C D E L-O-L-A, Lola, Lo lo lo lo lola
[Verse 2]
E Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy A but when she squeezed me tight D E she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola A Asus4 A Lo lo lo lo Lola
[Verse 3]
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 oh my Lola A D C C D E Lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola
[Chorus 1]
B7 *** Well we drank champagne and danced all night F# 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'
[Verse 4]
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 C D Lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola E A D C C D E Lola, Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
[Bridge]
A E * B ** I pushed her away A E * B ** I walked to the door A E * B ** I fell to the floor E G#m C#m I got down on my knees B7 Then I looked at her and she at me
[Verse 5]
E Well that's the way that I want it to stay A D E and I always want it to be that way for my Lola A Asus4 A Lo lo lo lo Lola E Girls will be boys and boys will be girls A D E It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola A Lo lo lo lo Lola
[Chorus 2]
B7 Well I left home just a week before F# And I'd never ever kissed a woman before A Lola smiled and took me by the hand
and said 'dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man'
[Verse 6]
E Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man A D but I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man E A D C C D and so is Lola, lo lo lo lo lola Lo lo lo lo Lola
[Outro]
