Verse
D A
When Lola was born the First World War
Em F#m G
Had only just ended 3 years before
D A
In ’77 she took a flight
Em F#m G
She told a reporter who asked her that it was alright
D A
2002 is the year that she died
Em F#m G
She lived in Manhattan on the Upper West Side
Em F#m G
If you look on the web that’s almost all that will show
A D
There once was a Lola Aglialoro
[Verse 2]
D A
She always said she was from England
Em F#m G
But after she died I learned she came from the mainland
D A
The last Kindertransport was the one shе was on
Em F#m G
And she spent her youth thеn being bombed in London
D A
She met a soldier, followed him back
Em F#m G
How many kids she raised, who could keep track
Em F#m G
Only 2 of her own, but so many others would follow
A D
My nanny Lola Aglialoro
[Verse 3]
D A
She always said she never had
Em F#m G
A problem with the gangsters they said were so bad
D A
She would laugh loudly, as she often did
Em F#m G
Saying I knew all the gangsters when they were wee kids
D A
She said not one child should be forsaken
Em F#m G
Maybe because her own childhood had been taken
Em F#m G
A woman of joy, a woman of sorrow
A D
A lady named Lola Aglialoro
[Verse 4]
D A
As I grew up I still kept in touch
Em F#m G
With this woman who had affected so many so much
D A
My lady of laughter, my mother of mirth
Em F#m G
Who seemed to know so deeply what laughter was worth
D A
There’s no Stumbling Stone to recall when she came
Em F#m G
And she long ago changed both her first and last name
Em F#m G
But now there’s a song so someone out there might know
A D
There was once a Lola Aglialoro
