I’ve ___ALWAYS___ hated the songs “Lola”, “Rebel Rebel” and “Take a Walk on the Wild Side”.
ALWAYS.
.... and I grew up in the 70s.

I take it you're not referring to Lola by the Chessmen (1961), Rebel by Carol Jarvis (1957) or Walk on the Wild Side by Brook Benton (1962). Those '70's titles are probably something that I would rather not hear.

The '70's spanned my teens and 20's, but I only followed the contemporary music scene haphazardly.

Even the Beatles knew reality from fiction once long ago.

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo, go home

Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta, go home

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back

Songwriters: John Lennon / Paul Mccartney
