L-O-L-A, Lola, Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh 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, oh my Lola Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola, Lo-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 And said, "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"

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 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 Lola Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

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?" Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola, Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
