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.

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.
