Feel the fire where she walks Lola Montez so beautiful Shady and a tempered dame Blinding your eyes with her spider dance Her performance utterly erotic subversive to all ideas And for public morality And cool as she was, she didn't care See the miner throw his gold Lifting her skirt howling loud like a wolf Hell raising and full of sin When Lola was dancing and showing her skin Wherever she walks She will be captivating all the men Don't look in her eyes You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly But she'll catch you in her web The love of your life, yeah Feel the fire where she walks Lola Montez so beautiful Shady and a tempered dame Blinding your eyes with her spider dance Well notorious I have been But never for fame that's what she said Dear Henry taste my whip Never to see any words you print Wherever she walks She will be captivating all the men Don't look in her eyes You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly But she'll catch you in her web The love of your life, yeah Oh Lola I'm sure that the love would have been The key to all your pain, the key to all your pain No words will later come Did the spider bite your tongue We will surely not forget We will surely not forget The Lola spider dance Whoa Don't look on her eyes You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly But she'll catch you in her web The love of your life, yeah
