'Lola' by The Kinks 
'Lola'
by The Kinks


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.

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine.
Oh my Lola, L-o-l-a 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, L-o-l-a Lola.

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
under electric candlelight.
She picked me up and sat me on her knees 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.

Lola, Lo-lo-lo-lo-Lola

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.
Then I looked at her and she at me.

Well that's the way that I want it to stay.
And I 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 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: "Dear boy I'm gonna make you a man."

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man.
But I know what I am, in the bed, I'm a man and so's Lola.

Lo-lo-lo-lo-Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo-Lola...

This song is about mistakenly being with a transvestite. Its based on a true story dealing with the manager of The Kinks dancing all night with a transvestite and being too drunk to notice even when his/her stubble started to show.

But the meaning of the song has nothing to do with why I'm posting it. This song is possibly the most catchy song ever created and its been stuck in my head all day and then some.
Don't believe me? Well download this song somewhere and listen to it and I bet you'll probably be spelling aloud the name "Lola" throughout the day.

L,O,L,A; Lola. Lo,Lo,Lo,Lo,Lola...

Maybe it'll get dislodged from my brain now.

And as an interesting side-note, hardcore legend and best-selling writer Mick Foley wrote a parody of this song when he was younger about a 'boner'... B-O-N-E-R, Boner.
Go read his first book... It's got the lyrics there. It's a riot.

Stay tuned.
