Lady Marmalade
All Saints Lyrics

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Encouraging her close friend to join in on the fun being had at that moment, potentially at a club or social gathering.

He met marmalade down in old new orleans Struttin' her stuff on the street She said "hello, Hey joe, you wanna give it a go?" mmm, mmm
The singer meets a woman named Marmalade while exploring the lively streets of New Orleans. After making an impression on her, she invites him to try his luck with her.

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da Itchi gitchi ya ya here Mocha-choca-lata ya ya Creole lady marmalade
A catchy, nonsensical hook to the song that has no significant meaning.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Marmalade invites the artist to spend the night with her.

He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up The boy drank all her magnolia-wine On the black satin sheets oh I swear he started to freak
The artist is alone with Marmalade in her private room, where he drinks her wine and is overcome with desire for her.

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
The singer is mesmerized by Marmalade's beauty and feels an intense desire to be with her.

Now he's back home doing nine to five Living his grey flannel life But when he turns off to sleep Old memories creep, more, more, more
The singer has returned to his mundane daily routine, but he can't help but think back on the passionate memories he shared with Marmalade.

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da da Itchi gitchi ya ya here Mocha-choco-lata ya ya Creole lady marmalade
A repeating, nonsensical hook to the song that has no significant meaning.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir? Creole lady marmalade
A repeated invitation from Marmalade for the artist to spend the night with her.

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 couchez avec moi ce soir? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Repeating the same invitation for the artist to spend the night with her, possibly to emphasize the intimate nature of their relationship.

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da Itchi gitchi ya ya here Mocha-choco-lata ya ya Itchi gitchi ya ya here
Repeating the nonsensical hook once more to wrap up the song.
