When Lola was born the First World War

Had only just ended 3 years before
C# G#
In ’77 she took a flight
D#m Fm F#
She told a reporter who asked her that it was alright
C# G#
2002 is the year that she died
D#m Fm F#
She lived in Manhattan on the Upper West Side
D#m Fm F#
If you look on the web that’s almost all that will show
G# C#
There once was a Lola Aglialoro
[Verse 2]
C# G#
She always said she was from England
D#m Fm F#
But after she died I learned she came from the mainland
C# G#
The last Kindertransport was the one shе was on
D#m Fm F#
And she spent her youth thеn being bombed in London

How many kids she raised, who could keep track
D#m Fm F#
Only 2 of her own, but so many others would follow

My nanny Lola Aglialoro
[Verse 3]
C# G#
She always said she never had
D#m Fm F#
G# problem with the gangsters they said were so bad
C# G#

G# lady named Lola Aglialoro
[Verse 4]

As I grew up I still kept in touch

C# G#
My lady of laughter, my mother of mirth
D#m Fm F#
Who seemed to know so deeply what laughter was worth
C# G#
There’s no Stumbling Stone to recall when she came
D#m Fm F#
And she long ago changed both her first and last name
D#m Fm F#
But now there’s a song so someone out there might know
G# C#
There was once a Lola Aglialoro
