LYRICS:
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca 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
La-la-la-la Lola
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 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 candlelight
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
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
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
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
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Originally recorded 9 May 1970 at Morgan Studio 1, Willesden, UK for The Kinks classic ‘Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One’ original album sessions. A concept album ahead of its time, it’s a satirical appraisal of the music industry, including song publishers, unions, the press, accountants, business managers, and life on the road.
Remastered by expert Kinks engineer Andrew Sandoval, overseen by Kinks frontman Ray Davies. ‘Lola’, which reached the #9 in the US, #2 in the UK and Germany, was the Kinks' biggest single success since ‘Sunny Afternoon’ in 1966 and marked the start of big comeback Stateside. The track, written by Ray Davies, allegedly details a romantic encounter between a young man and a possible trans-gender person whom he meets in a club in Soho, London.

I remember when I was in 2nd grade, 1964-1965, I asked my mom, who taught in high school, what high school kids were listening to. "Oh, the Kinks" she said. Not the Beatles? She said "No, that's their parents' music. All the cool kids listen to the Kinks."
With so many storylined songs, the Kinks are pretty much the only band that can recieve this vivid comic adaptation. As for the song, it plainly and truly rocks.
I used to sing this when I was little riding my bike down the street, having no idea what the lyrics meant😂😂 I loved the hippy era, great time to grow up and hear amazing songs☮️🌟
2024. 71 years old now. Still loving it 😂
❤anyone else still loving this classic in 2024❤
Gosh, so many RUclipsrs would moan about this one being too woke :P. Yet my parents made me listen to this song at a very young age to tell me "It's okay to be you" :P.
They are seriously the most underrated band. Everything they make is incredible!
I was 25 when this song came out, and at age 78 I still love it to this day. I’m just a year younger than Sir Raymond Douglas Davies, and I feel blessed to have shared a generation with him and The Kinks along with many other great bands from that era. I’d like to do some things over in my personal life, but musically I wouldn’t trade that time period for anything. Music has never been more fun than it was in the 60’s and 70’s. It was a great time to be young.
Used to have a car I named Lola, beautiful like a woman but godsdamn did it sound like a man. Absolutely loved that car
This is the greatest manga I've ever read.
Great visual rendering of the song. One of the greatest ambiguous lines in rock: "I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola".
I bought this album when I was 16, on the day it came out in November of 1970, along with George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" album, which was released the same day. 💝
My name is Lola...Always loved this song of course.
This comic adaptation is why the kinks are so great. They are able to tell a whole story through a song and it's fully understandable and told in such a fantastic way.
"I know what I am, and I'm glad I'm a man
My favorite song ever, doesn’t matter what mood I’m in this song always lifts my spirits🌻
I'm a younger woman, this was old before I was born but my parents liked it and kept playing it and it grew on me. I have very fond memories of my family and picnics in the 89/90's with 60's music.
The Kinks are one of the best, underrated English Rock n Roll bands of all time. Ray and Dave Davies ate genuises in writing the music. It endures forever and it help me as I was growing up as a teenager in the 60's. The Kinks rock forever. 😀🎼🎶🎸👍
If thousend of people singing
This song very much saved the group financially cause many groups would've packed it in but The Kinks very much soldiered on and continue to make great records but Lola definitely was the biggest record they done.
