Album Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One. Lola 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 Lola. Lola is an attractive transgender woman; the narrator is a young man, flattered by the attention paid to him by her. Ray Davis has claimed that he was inspired to write Lola after Kinks manager Robert Wace spent a night in Paris dancing with a transgender woman. However, Mick Avory claimed that the song was inspired by his frequenting of transgender bars in west London. everyone wants to know.
Lyrics to "Lola" song by The Kinks: I met her in a club down in old Soho Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola. Well I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed 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 and 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 candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said little 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 La-la-la-la Lola.

Shop Vinyl and CDs and complete your The Kinks collection. The record sounds good when played loudly through a set of speakers, but pretty dreadful through headphones. The album is disappointing, despite being a great collection of songs. Wait until you hear the hot mess that is the bridge of "You Really Got Me".
