My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola
My eyes are wide like cherry pies
I gots a taste for men who are older
It's always been so it's no surprise
[Pre-Chorus]
Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy
(I come alive, alive)
All he wants to do is party with his pretty baby
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let's ride
We can escape to the great sunshine
I know your wife and she wouldn't mind
We made it out to the other side
We made it out to the other side
We made it out to the other side
[Post-Chorus]
Come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, baby
Oh, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I fall asleep in an American flag
I wear my diamonds on Skid Row
I pledge allegiance to my dad
For teaching me everything he knows
Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy
(I come alive, alive)
All he wants to do is party with his pretty baby
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let's ride
We can escape to the great sunshine
I know your wife and she wouldn't mind
We made it out to the other side
We made it out to the other side
We made it out to the other side
[Bridge]
Drugs, suck it up, like vanilla icys
Don't treat me rough, treat me really niceys
Decorate my neck, diamantes ices
Why, come on, come on
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh yeah)
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, let's ride
We can escape to the great sunshine
I know your wife and she wouldn't mind
We made it out to the other side
Come on, baby, let's ride
We can escape to the great sunshine
We made it out to the other side
We made it out to the other side
Come on, come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, baby
Oh, oh
My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola
Ooh, ahh
My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola
Ooh, oh yeah
About
This song is notorious for the opening line, “My pussy tastes like Pepsi cola”, but overall, the song is much deeper than that one phrase. Lana describes in this song how her promiscuity attracts the stereotypical male (desperately sexually oriented with a lack of commitment), even though he may be married or in a relationship.
In Nabokov’s Lolita, the young American girl, “Lolita” is mentioned to drinking “Coke” a few times.
The song was to be served as one of the singles from Born to Die, however it’s eventually cancelled. On October 31st, 2017, Lana announced that she would stop performing the song live due to the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

In an October 2017 interview with MTV, Lana confirmed the song was not written specifically about Weinstein, but due to the rumors that it was and out of respect for the victims, she was cutting it from her live shows.
When I wrote that song, I suppose I had a Harvey Weinstein/Harry Winston-type of character in mind. I envisioned, like, a benevolent, diamond-bestowing-upon-starlets visual, like a Citizen Kane or something. I’m not really sure. I thought it was funny at the time, and I obviously find it really sad now. I support the women who have come forward. I think they’re really brave for doing that.
On November 24, 2021, “Cola” was certified gold by the RIAA.
