   Lola was a woman.  The song opens:
           "I met her in a club down in old Soho . . ."
     later: "I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola"
       and so on, using female pronouns throughout.  The line that Sam 
quotes should be  "Now I'm not dumb but I can't understand 
                   How she walked like a woman and talked like a man."

       I think.
