I said hey bartender!

img_1062.JPG

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 lo-lo-lo-lo 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 wont you come home with me

Well Im not the worlds most passionate guy

But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
