Lola - The Kinks (1970) Video - My favorite song about a guy going out having a few drinks and bringing home a transvestite. The funny thing is that it's actually based on the true story of their band manager dancing all night with a "woman" that has stubble, but was too drunk to care. Be sure to check out the video where Ray Davies looks like Mr. McFly from Back to the Future.

"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 name and in a dark brown voice, she said Lola, L-O-L-A Lola lo-lo-lo-lo 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 lo-lo-lo-lo Lola. Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand why we she walked like a woman and talked like a man, oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo 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 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 Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo 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 say, and I always want it to be that way for my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola. Girls will be boys and boys will be girls. It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola.

Well I left home just a week before and I'd never ever kissed a woman before, but Lola smiled 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 a man and so's Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola."
