Song lyrics
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 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 
Girls 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 and I'm glad 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

I agree, this song is well cool, and may not be the best, but in my books it is certainly one of the best Kinks songs!

I love all of the Kinks' songs but this is my favourite!!! Is it sad when a song gives you a craving for Cherry Cola?
Bow down 2 the kinks for their wondeful work of genius! And to whoever wrote it or whatever.

I was reading about what this song was supposed to be about, and they wrote it after a time when one of the band members was having a conversation or something with a transvestite.

Anyway, I love this song

I've kind of associated this song with this girl I have a huge crush on named Lauren

Lau-ren lo-lo-lo-lo lau-ren

So then I read the lyrics.

Imagine my reaction.
