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, 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 but 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 candle light 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 stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola Girl 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 that I'm a man, and so is Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola

"Lola" foi gravada nos primeiros meses de 1970 no Morgan Studios, em Londres, após Ray Davies ser incentivado pelo pai a escrever um novo hit mundial.
A melodia foi criada por Dave Davies, que depois mostrou a Ray; foi o Ray quem escreveu a letra, embora ele tenha assumido todo o crédito pela canção.
A versão original continha a palavra “Coca‑Cola”, mas foi substituída por “cherry cola” para atender à política da BBC contra inserções de marcas.
O sucesso de “Lola” (nº 2 no Reino Unido e nº 9 nos EUA) permitiu à banda negociar um novo contrato com a RCA, construir seu próprio estúdio em Londres e ganhar maior controle criativo e gerencial.
A canção ficou em 422º na lista das 500 Melhores Canções de Todos os Tempos da Rolling Stone e se tornou o hino de sing‑along mais popular da Kinks nos shows, ajudando a reconquistar o mercado de concertos nos EUA após cinco anos de ausência.
