Lady Marmalade
Christina Aguilera Lil' Kim Mýa P!nk & Missy Elliott Lyrics

Where's all my soul sistas
I want to hear from all my fellow strong and empowered women

Lemme hear ya'll flow sistas
I want to hear your voices and what you have to say

Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista
Hey sister, go ahead and express yourself with power and grace

He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge
He encountered a seductive and confident woman at the famous Moulin Rouge

Struttin' her stuff on the street
Confidently showing off her beauty and allure in public

She said, 'Hello, hey Joe! You wanna give it a go?'
She confidently approached him and asked if he wanted to be with her

Gichie, Gichie, ya ya dada (Hey hey hey)
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm with playful words

Gichie, Gichie, ya ya here (here)
Expressing that something exciting and fun is happening

Mocha Chocalata ya ya (oh yea)
Describing a rich and enjoyable experience

Creole Lady Marmalade
Referring to the captivating and intriguing woman named Marmalade

Ooh oh Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Expressing a desire to engage in intimate activities

Yea yea yea yea
Expressing agreement and enthusiasm

He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
He waited in her private room while she prepared herself

Boy drank all that Magnolia wine
He consumed all the luxurious and intoxicating wine

All her black satin sheets, suede's, dark greens
Referring to the luxurious and sensual environment she created

Gichie, Gichie, ya ya dada (da-da-da)
Continuing to express excitement and enthusiasm

Gichie, Gichie, ya ya here (here ohooh yea yeah)
Continuing to describe an exciting and enjoyable experience

Mocha Chocalata ya ya (yea yea)
Continuing to describe a rich and enjoyable experience

Creole Lady Marmalade
Continuing to refer to the captivating and intriguing woman named Marmalade

Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir (ce soir, what what what)
Continuing to express a desire to engage in intimate activities

We come through with the money and the garter belts
We enter with wealth and sexiness

I let him know we bout that cake straight out the gate (uh)
I make sure he knows we are all about money and success from the very beginning

We independent women, some mistake us for whores
We are strong and self-sufficient women, but some misunderstand our power and assume negative things about us

I'm sayin'.. 'Why spend mine when I can spend yours?'
I'm saying, why would I spend my own money when I can spend someone else's?

Disagree? Well that's you and I'm sorry
If you don't agree, that's your opinion and I apologize for any offense

Imma keep playing these cats out like Atari
I will continue to manipulate and outsmart these men like playing a game

Wear high heel shoes get love from the dudes
By wearing high heels, I attract attention and admiration from men

Four badass chicks from the Moulin Rouge
Referring to the four confident and powerful women from the Moulin Rouge

Hey sistas, soul sistas, betta get that dough sistas
Encouraging all women to work hard and secure financial independence

We drink wine with diamonds in the glass
We indulge in luxurious and expensive pleasures

By the case the meaning of expensive taste
We consume expensive things in large quantities, symbolizing our refined and extravagant preferences

If you wanna Gichie, Gichie, ya ya
If you want to have an exciting and enjoyable experience

Mocha Chocalata what?
What other rich and pleasurable things can we partake in?

Creole Lady Marmalade
Referring again to the captivating and intriguing woman named Marmalade

Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth
Experiencing the soft and smooth sensation of her skin

Color of cafe au lait alright
Describing the beautiful complexion color of the woman

Made the savage beast inside roar until he cried, More-more-more
Her seductive charm awakened his primal desires and made him crave more

Now he's back home doin' 9 to 5 (9 to 5)
Now he has returned to his ordinary and mundane daily routine

Livin the grey flannel life
Living a dull and monotonous existence

But when he turns off to sleep memories creep, More-more-more
But when he falls asleep, memories of their passionate encounter haunt him and he desires more
