Hey, sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
Hey, sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Strutting her stuff on the street
She said: Hello, hey, Joe
You wanna give it a go?
Gitchi, gitchi, ya, ya, da, da
Gitchi, gitchi, ya, ya, here
Mocha chocolata, ya, ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
He stayed in her boudoir
(Hey, sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister)
While she freshened up
That boy drank all that Magnolia wine
(Hey, sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister)
On her black satin sheets
Where he started to freak
Gitchi, gitchi, ya, ya, da, da
Gitchi, gitchi, ya, ya, here
Mocha chocolata, ya, ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Hey, Hey, Hey
Touching her skin feelin' silky smooth
The colour of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until it cried, more, more, more
Now he's back home doing 9 to 5
Living his grey flannel life
But when he turns off to sleep
Old memories creep, more, more, more
Gitchi, gitchi, ya, ya, da, da, da
Gitchi, gitchi, ya, ya, here
Mocha chocolata, ya, ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Gitchi, gitchi, ya, ya, da, da
Gitchi, gitchi, ya, ya, here
Mocha chocolata, ya, ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
