{c:verse 1}
I [D]met her in a club down in old Soho
where you [G]drink champagne and it [C]tastes just like Coca-[D]Cola
C-O-L-A, [G]cola  [Gsus4]  [G] 
She [D]walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I [G]asked her her name and in a [C]dark brown voice she said [D]Lola
L-O-L-A, [G]Lola, [C] Lo lo lo lo [A#]Lola  [A#]  [C]  [D] 

{c:verse 2}
Well [D]I'm not the worlds most physical guy
but when she [G]squeezed me tight she nearly [C]broke my spine, oh my [D]Lola
Lo lo lo lo [G]Lola  [Gsus4]  [G] 
Well [D]I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she [G]walked like a woman and [C]talked like a man, Oh my [D]Lola, 
Lo lo lo lo [G]Lola [C] Lo lo lo lo [A#]Lola  [A#]  [C]  [D] 

{soc}
Well we [A7]drank champagne and danced all night
[E]Under electric candlelight
She [G]picked me up and sat me on her knee
and said 'Dear boy, won't you come home with me'
{eoc}

{c:verse 3}
Well [D]I'm not the world's most passionate guy
but when I [G]looked in her eye, well I [C]almost fell for my [D]Lola
Lo lo lo lo [G]Lola, [C] Lo lo lo lo [A#]Lola  [A#]  [C]  
[D]Lola, Lo lo lo lo [G]Lola, [C] Lo lo lo lo [A#]Lola  [A#]  [C]  [D] 

{c:bridge}
I [G]↓pushed [D]↓her a-[A7]↓way
I [G]↓walked [D]↓to the [A7]↓door
I [G]↓fell [D]↓to the [A7]↓floor
I got [D]↓down [F#m]↓on my [Bm]↓knees
Then [A7]I looked at her and she at me

{c:verse 4}
Well [D]that's the way that I want it to stay
And I [G]always want it to [C]be that way for my [D]Lola
Lo lo lo lo [G]Lola [Gsus4]  [G] 
[D]Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a [G]mixed up, muddled up, [C]shook up world except for [D]Lola
Lo lo lo lo [G]Lola

{soc}
Well I [A7]left home just a week before
And [E]I'd never ever kissed a woman before
[G]Lola smiled and took me by the hand
and said 'Little boy, I'm gonna make you a man'
{eoc}

{c:verse 5}
Well [D]I'm not the worlds most masculine man
but I [G]know what I am and I'm [C]glad I'm a man
and so is [D]Lola, lo lo lo lo [G]lola [C]  Lo lo lo lo [A#]Lola  [A#]  [C] 

{c:outro}
[D]Lola, lo lo lo lo [G]Lola,  [C]  lo lo lo lo [A#]Lola  [A#]  [C] 
[D]Lola, lo lo lo lo [G]Lola,  [C]  lo lo lo lo [A#]Lola  [A#]  [C] 
[D]Lola, lo lo lo lo [G]Lola,  [C]  lo lo lo lo [A#]Lola  [A#]  [C]
