Kinks - Lola Lyrics

I met her in a club down in old Soho where they
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 Lo - la

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she sqeezed 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 but 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 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
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girl will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

CHORUS #2:
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. I'm a man, I'm a man!
And so is Lola!
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Hi, Everybody!
I guess it’s about time I updated this journal and got back into the mix here at DA. I apologize to everyone for the long sabatical. Things have been happening at such a rapid pace in my life that it seems like it’s been “not THAT long”.
I have of course stayed in contact with my daughter (the lovely and much renowned ) whom I love very much. She and her family are doing very well and I am so proud of her and her accomplishments both here and in the real world.
My significant other Ellana has a new, better job and is performing outstandingly well at it. She has stood by me through thick and thin for well over a decade now. She is the very focus of my existence and I love her soooooooooooo much!
I finally have bid adieu to the world of the self-inflicted under employed and have a real job now as a Senior Technical Service Rep for HP, supporting their All-In-One printer line.
It’s really amazing how one can take a seemingly huge pay cut and actually have more. There never was enough before for frivolous things like retirement or health insurance and “What the hell is paid time off, anyway!”.
I love my new gig and have managed to move up a good bit in a relatively short amount of time.
Anyhoooooo! I’m gonna make it a New Year’s Resolution to get back on DA with both journals and photographs on a regular basis.
Thanks to all of you who have left me on your friends list and the rest of you…well, I guess you’re not reading this… …are you?
I also want to thank my three children of the feline variety, Timone, Nina, and Lola, for their undying patience and loyalty.
The funniest thing that's happened….We took Lola, named after the principal character in the Ray Davies (The Kinks) song of the same name and who was six months old, to be spayed. After a little bit we got a call from the vet …”It seems your little Lola can't be spayed Lola's a male!!!
We’re still laughing about that one . We got him fixed anyway.
Oh, well…As the song goes…..

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am. I'm a man, I'm a man!
And so is Lola!
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola




Later,
Buck
