Lola The Kinks
C-O-L-A Cola.
She walked up to me and she
asked me to dance.
I asked her name and in a dark
brown voice she said, “Lola”
Well, I’m not the world’s most
physical guy,
But when she squeezed me tight
she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t
understand / Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo
lo lo Lola
Well, we drank champagne and
danced all night, / Under electric candlelight,
She picked me up and sat me on
her knee, / She said, “Little 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, / Lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola

I pushed her away. I walked to
the door. / I fell to the floor. I got down on my knees.
I looked at her, and she at me.

Well that’s the way that I want it to stay. / I always want it / to be that way for my Lola. 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 Lola. Lo lo lo Lola.
Well I left home just a week
before, / and I never ever kissed a woman before,
Lola smiled and took me by the
hand, / she said, “Little boy, gonna make you a man.”
Well I’m not the world’s most masculine man, / but I know what I am / and that I’m a man,
So is Lola. / Lo lo lo Lola. Lo
lo lo Lola.
