lyrics

Born in Sligo, I wasn’t long for Grange
In Germany they said I was from Spain
In London I was Indian
Then I changed my name again
Thus the world beheld Donna Lola

You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola
If you don't know Lola Montez
That just means that I ain't done yet
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola

No one on this earth would ever dare
To say I put on graces and airs

If you doubt my constitution
Watch me start a revolution
Then you'll never forget Donna Lola

As a muse I am a splendid thing

I've known composers, writers and a king
My Spanish beauty is unspoiled
And well preserved in inks and oils
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola

You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola...

I can hypnotize you with my Spider Dance
It left Australian miners in a trance
There's no stage with a better show
And I'll whip the man that says that it ain't so
You're never forget Donna Lola
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola...

There’s nothing in this world I’ve never seen
There’s nothing in this world I’ve never been
I've sailed the seas and evangelized

Of a woman's fight and of men who lie
You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola

You’re never gonna forget Donna Lola...
