I met her in a club down in Nottingham
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 then in that brown voice she said ‘Lola’ L.O.L.A.
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
You know my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well I’m not dumb, but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
You know my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candle light
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 I almost fell for my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
I pushed her away, I walked to the door
I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
And I look at her and she at me
Well that’s the way that I wanted to stay
And I always wanted to be that way for my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed up, muddled up shook up world except for my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
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 bet I’m a man
And so is Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
