LOLA

The Kinks

C D E
E
I met her in a club down in old Soho
A D A E
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry Cola
A Asus
C-O-L-A Cola
E
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
A D A 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
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:
B
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
F#m
Under electric candlelight
A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
B7
And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"

E
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
E A D C D E
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

BRIDGE:
A C#m B A C#m B
I pushed her away, I walked to the door
A C#m 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

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
