I met her in a club down in old Soho where they

                                            |
drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry

            |
cola  -O-L- 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 Lo - la

        |                                  |
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night


Under electric candle light

   |
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  Lo lo lo lo Lo - la   Lo lo lo lo Lo - la

                |                   |        |     |
Lola  Lo lo lo lo Lo - la   Lo lo lo lo Lo - la

 |          
I pushed her away

 |            
I walked to the door

 |          
I fell to the floor

     |       
I got down on my knees

    |                          
Then I looked at her and she at me

     |
Well, that's the way that I want it to stay...

(That's enough; you get the idea.  Yeah, I know I skipped a verse...)
