  E
I met her in a club down in old Soho
                  A                                   D                             E
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola
                A     Asus4     A
C-O-L-A, cola
       E
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
    A                                            D                                     E
I asked her - her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
               A       D              C          C     D      E
L-O-L-A, Lola,  Lo lo lo lo Lola

         E
Well I'm not the world?s most physical guy
                      A                                           D                            E
but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola
                A     Asus4     A
Lo lo lo lo Lola
         E
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
              A                                   D                                  E
why she walked like a woman and talked like a man oh my Lola
                 A      D              C          C     D      E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,  Lo lo lo lo Lola

Chorus:
????????      B??????????????????????????
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
F#
Under electric candlelight
       A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee

And said 'Dear boy, won't you come home with me'
        E
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
                  A                                    D                           E
but when I looked in her eye, well I almost fell for my Lola
                 A      D              C          C     D      E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,  Lo lo lo lo Lola
                 A      D              C          C     D      E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,  Lo lo lo lo Lola

Bridge:
   A          C#m     B
I pushed   her    away
   A          C#m     B
I walked   to the  door
   A          C#m     B
I fell        to the  floor
   E          Abm       C#m
I got       down on   my knees
        B
Then I looked at her and she at me
(Picking freely?. like verse 1)
         E 
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
          A                       D                             E
and I always want it to be that way for my Lola
                A     Asus4     A
Lo lo lo lo Lola
 E 
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
          A                                D                                        E
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola
                 A     
Lo lo lo lo Lola

Chorus:
?????   B??????????????????????????
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'

         E
Well I'm not the worlds most passionate man
           A                                   D                                  E
but I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola, 
                 A      D              C          C     D      E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,  Lo lo lo lo Lola
