I met her in a club down in old Soho 
                A                                 D                              E 
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola 
           A 
C-o-l-a cola 
      E 
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance 
  A                                        D 
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said 
E                  A    D              C      C/G (strumming) D     E

       E 
Well I?m not the world?s most physical guy 
                    A                                         D 
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine 
          E                   A 
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola 
       E 
Well I?m not dumb but I can?t understand 
             A                                   D 
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man 
          E                   A     D              C/G      D     E

Well we drank champagne and danced all night 
F#7 
Under electric candlelight 
      A 
She picked me up and sat me on her knee 
      A 
And said dear boy won?t you come home with me 
 
       E 
Well I?m not the world?s most passionate guy 
                A                                  D 
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my 
E                  A    D              C      D

I pushed her away 
  A         E        B 
I walked to the door 
  A   E        B 
I fell to the floor 
        E      G#7    C#m 
I got down on my knees 
        B 
Then I looked at her and she at me 
 
       E (picking) 
Well that?s the way that I want it to stay 
        A                        D 
And I always want it to be that way for my

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls

Well I left home just a week before 
      F#7 
And I?d never ever ever kissed a woman before 
      A 
But lola smiled and took me by the hand 
      A 
And said dear boy I?m gonna make you a man 
 
       E 
Well I?m not the world?s most masculine man 
        A                                  D 
But I know what I am and I?m glad I?m a man and so is
