Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One

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 said Lola 
L-O-L-A Lola lo-lo-lo-lo 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-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 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-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 


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


Well that's the way that I want it to stay 
And I'll 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 


Well I'd left home just a week before 
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before 
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand 
And said little boy I'm gonna make you a man 


Well I'm not the world's most masculine man 
But I know what I am and IN BED I'm a man 
And so is Lola 
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
