[C] [E] [N]
It's alright, it's alright because we're not gonna play that one tonight anyway.
[F] [C]
[N] Alright, we'll do it.
One condition, you've gotta join in, sing along, alright?
I took a lot of persuasion.
[C] If you can't [B] sing, clap your hands.
[G#] Alright?
If you can't clap your [N] hands, there's no hope.
And I'm gonna do a guitar [C] solo.

[A] [Em]
[A] [Em] [E]
Met her in a club down in Old South Hall
[A] By the green shop, [D] the tits just slapped [E] her, oh
She walked up to me and she asked me to [A] dance
I asked her the [D] meaning in a dark brown voice, [E] she said,
Lola, L-O-L-A
[A]
[D] [C] Well [D] [E]
I'm not the world's most physical [A] guy
But when she squeezed me [D] tight, she nearly broke my [E] spine, oh my Lola
Lola, [A] Lola, Lola
Well [E] I'm not dumb, but I can't understand [A] why
She walks like a [D] woman but talks like a [E] man, oh my Lola
Lola, [A] Lola, [D] Lola
Lola, [C] Lola, Lola
[D] [E] Well, [B] we drank champagne and danced all [F#] night
Pulled through and left you
[G#] [A] You picked me up and sat me on a knee
Shagged through your pores, won't you come [E] on to me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But [A] when I looked in her eyes, [D] I was deaf [E] for my Lord
[A] Lola, Lola, [D]
[C] Lola
[D] [E] Lola,
[A] Lola, [D] Lola
[C] Lola, Lola, Lola
[E]
[A] Well I [C#m] pushed [B] her away
[A] I [C#] walked [B] to the door
[A] I fell [B] to the floor
[E] I got [G#] down [C#] on my knees
[B] And I looked at her, she [E] and me
And that's the way that I was
[A] I always [D] wanted to be that way [E] for my Lord
[A] [E] Girls will be boys and boys will be [A] girls
It's a mixed up, [D] mumbled up, shipped up [E] world except my Lord
Lola, [A] Lola, Lola
[B] Well I've never felt so weird [F#] before
Never kissed a woman before
[A] Though the smile took me by the hand
Said, dear boy, I'm gonna make [E] you a man
Well I'm not the [A] world's most [D] passionate guy
But when I looked in her [E] eyes, I was deaf for my Lord
Lola, [A] [D] Lola, [C] Lola
[D]
[E] Lola, [A] Lola, [D]
[C] Lola
[D] [E]
[A] Lola, [D] [F#]
