[Chorus]
Well we drank
champagne and

Under electric

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 t

ked in her eye
, well I almos
t fell for my
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lo

[Fill 1]
[Bridge]
I pushed her a
way
I walked to th
e door
I fell to the
floor
I got down on
my knees
Then I looked
at her and she
at me
(Picking freely… like verse 1)
Well that's th
e way that I w
ant it to stay
and I always w
ant it to be t
hat way for my
Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lo
la
Girls will be
boys and boys
will be girls
It's a mixed u
p, muddled up,
shook up worl
d except for L
ola
Lo lo lo lo Lo
la
[Chorus]
Well I left ho
me just a week
before
And I'd never
ever kissed a
woman before
Lola smiled an
d took me by t
he hand
and said 'dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man'
Well I'm not t
he worlds most
passionate ma
n
but I know wha
t I am and I'm
glad I'm a ma
n and so is Lo
la,
Lo lo lo lo Lo
la, Lo lo lo
lo Lola
