    Lola was a hit song in 1970. I heard it on the radio today and heard these lines.

    Girls will be boys and boys will be girls.
    It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world, except for Lola.

    When I left home just a week before
    And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
    But Lola smiled and took my hand
    And said dear boy I'm going to make you a man.

    The song was inspired by the Kinks manager dancing with a black transvestite in a club all night.

    Lola is an awesome song. I love it. Reminds me of "Rebel Rebel", the best line of which is:

    You've got your mother in a whirl
    She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
    Hey babe, your hair's alright
    Hey babe, lets go out tonight

    But Lola is better.

    Out to everyone
    I met him in a swamp down in Degobah
    Where it bubbles all the time
    Like a giant carbonated soda
    S-O-D-A, soda.
    I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
    I asked him his name
    And in a raspy voice, he said Yoda.
    Y-O-D-A, yoda.
    Yo yo yo yo yo Yoda.

    Well I'm not the world's most masculine man,
    but I know what I am and I'm a man,
    and so is Lola.
