Billy Porter - Land of Lola lyrics
Leave expectations at the door
Just let your eyes explore
my cinematic flair
From my boot to derrière
I've got a lacy silken feel
with arms as hard as steel
I am freedom, I'm constriction
A potpourri of contradiction
Leave that humdrum place of glum behind
Once you walk inside these doors, your mine
Now let me blow your mind
And like Shazam! and Bam!
Here I am, Yes Ma'am
I am Lola
And like Je suis ooh-wee that's me Ebony
I am Lola (Ooh)
(Step in) Step into a dream
(Where glam) Where glamour is extreme
(Welcome) Welcome to my fantasy
We give good epiphany
So come and take my hand
and welcome to the land of Lola
No need to be embarrassed
I like being looked at
& you like to look.
I know a way to make us both happy
(Lola) Ohh! (Lola) hmmm yeah (Lola)
Got Ginger Rogers' savoir faire
With the moves of Fred Astaire
I'm Black Jesus, I'm Black Mary
But this Mary's legs are hairy
I'm your Cocoa Butter Bitch
Not just cookie cutter kitsch
I'll provide the unexpected
with a prize that's undetected
(Let Lola get you to your highest high) Get you till your highest highs!
Let's explore your flight of fancy tonight
(She's gonna treat you right) I'm gonna treat you right!
And like Shazam! and Bam!
Here I am, Yes Ma'am
I am Lola
and like Shiusi! Oo wee that's me Ebony
I am Lola (Ooh)
(Step in) Step into a dream
(Where glam) Where glamour is extreme
(Welcome) Welcome to my fantasy
We give good epiphany
(Step in) Step into a dream
(Where glam) Where glamour is extreme
(Welcome) Welcome to my fantasy
We give good epiphany
So come and take my hand
and welcome to the land of Lola
(Lola) Say my name! (Lola) Ooh! (Lola)
So come and take my hand
and welcome to the land of Lola
