Lolita Ya Ya
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.

Ya ya... wo-woo ya ya
I'm feeling excited and mystified by this girl, I can't resist her charms
Wo-woo ya ya... woo-ya ya ya
Her beauty and allure are driving me crazy, I can't control my desire for her
Lolita, ya ya
This girl's name is Lolita and she's got me captivated
Got a little girl, ya ya
She may be young, but she's got a hold on me that I can't shake
Wants to dance, ya ya
Lolita is eager to move her body and she's enticing me to do the same
Hates to dance, ya ya
Despite Lolita's initial reluctance, she can't resist the rhythm and begins to dance
Got to be her man, ya ya
I know I have to be with this girl, she's got a hold on my heart
Loves me like no other can, ya ya
The feeling is mutual, we share a deep and intense love for each other
From early in the morning till late at night
Our love is all-encompassing, it consumes us from morning until night
She's my lollipop, I'm her lollipop
We are each other's sweet indulgence and addiction
Makes my heart go giddyup, ya ya
Lolita's mere presence gets my heart racing with excitement and joy
Never, never go away, ya ya
I never want to lose Lolita and the love that we share
Promise that you'll stay, ya ya
I make a solemn promise to Lolita that I will always be by her side
Lolita, ya ya
She's the center of my world, the one who has captured my heart and soul

This video was choreographed brilliantly against the song. The rhythms were perfectly orchestrated with the scenes and clips of this outstanding film, one of the top five films of the early 60s.
@Salman-Zaki
There's something melancholically nostalgic about the theme song of Lolita.

@KenSiefert
This song paved the way for the Brazil ‘66 style of music…a beautifully crafted and simple song
@brendagroff8478
Loved the movie and this song.
@fredkeeler1234
Perfectly captures the precociousness and decadence of the character

I remember my Mum had this on a 7 inch single. The label was red and yellow. Might've been a B side.
