I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where we drank champagne and it tasted 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 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 she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

That should be the b3ta official bumming song.

Edit/ To my everlasting embarassment I sung along to that for years and years before it suddenly dawned on me it was about ladyboys.

to join you in embarassment.....
it was only this year I think that I actually listened closely to the words and realised the true meaning of the song.

It's the line
"I know what I am, I'm a man I'm a man and so's Lola" that gave it away, then?

that's the cookie
but you know how it is, a song's playing in the background and you don't really pay attention to what they are singing.
I did not have a copy of it to call my own till this year, so only ever heard it as background (i.e. on the radio)

That must be to a different tune though

the lyrics are good (from a hetro point of view) (honest)

yes, it's their own song
with their own tune. DAAS are rather good
