THE KINKS auf Pye
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink Champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola c-o-l-a-cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and In a dark brown voice she saidf: Lola l-o-l-a Lola,
la la la la 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 la la la la 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, la la la la Lola, la la la la 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“?
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
Lola la la la la Lola
la la la la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor,
I got down my knees then
I looked at her and she at me
Well, that’s the way I want it to stay
and I always want it to be that way for Lola
la la la la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
it’s a mixed up, mouled up shook up world except for Lola
ta la la la Lola
Well, I left home a week before
and I’d never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola´s mine an took me by the band
and said: „Dear boy, I’m gonna make you a man!“
Well I’m not the world’s most mascular man,
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man and so is Lola
la la la la Lola
la la la la Lola
