Lemme hear ya'll flow, sistas
Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista
Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, go sista
He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello, hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?"
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (hey, hey, hey)
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, here (here)

Creole Lady Marmalade
(What-what? What-what?)
Ooh, oh
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
Boy drank all that Magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets' where he started to freak, yeah
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (da-da-da)

Let him know we 'bout that cake straight out the gate (uh)
We independent women, some mistake us for whores
I'm sayin', "Why spend mine when I can spend yours?"
Disagree? Well, that's you, and I'm sorry
I'ma keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wear high heel shoes, get love from the dudes
Four badass chicks from the Moulin Rouge
Hey sistas, soul sistas, betta get that dough, sistas

Hey, hey, hey
Touch of her skin, feeling silky smooth, hey
Color of café au lait, alright
Made the savage beast inside roar until he cried
More (more), more (more), more
Now he's back home doin' 9 to 5 (9 to 5)
He's livin' the grey flannel life
But when he turns off to sleep, memories creep

The lyrics to Christina Aguilera's "Lady Marmalade" revolve around a seductive and bold woman named Marmalade who meets a man named Joe at Moulin Rouge. The song draws on themes of empowerment, sex appeal, independence, and freedom of speech. The song's chorus repeatedly asks, "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?" which translates to "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" This bold question showcases the woman's independence and willingness to take control of her sexuality. The phrase "Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da" is used throughout the song, and some speculate that it comes from the Creole language, which is spoken in New Orleans, the home of Moulin Rouge.
The first verse of the song sets the scene where Joe meets Marmalade, as she struts down the street saying hello to him. The second verse describes Marmalade's bedroom, as the two become intimate on her black satin sheets. The next verse is where the singers begin to comment on Marmalade's daring nature, and how they too are independent women who take charge of their sexuality. The song ends by repeating the chorus, followed by each singer being individually introduced, further emphasizing the message of unity and empowerment.
