Nelson Riddle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wo-woo ya ya... woo-ya ya ya
The lyrics to Nelson Riddle's song "Lolita Ya Ya" are simple, repetitive, and infectious. The words "ya ya" and "wo-woo" serve as the main refrains of the tune, and they seem to suggest a sense of mischief and playfulness. The song's title and lyrics also hint at a darker subtext, as "Lolita" is commonly associated with Vladimir Nabokov's novel about the sexual relationship between a middle-aged man and a young girl.
