Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

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?"

Gichie, Gichie, ya ya dada
Gichie, Gichie, ya ya here
Mocha Chocalata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher 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 ce soir?

Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous voulez-vous

He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
Boy drank all that Magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets is where he started to freak, yeah

Gichie, Gichie, ya ya dada
Gichie, Gichie, ya ya here
Mocha Chocalata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher, vous coucher, vous coucher

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous voulez-vous

Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth
Color of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside roar until he cried
More, more, more

Now he's back home doin' 9 to 5
Livin' the grey flannel life
But when he turns off to sleep memories creep
More, more, more

Voulez-vous, voulez-vous voulez-vous
Voulez-vous, voulez-vous voulez-vous





Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Lady Marmalade" by El profesor, are a playful invitation for sexual intimacy, specifically a one-night stand, with the repeated question "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" which translates to "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" The song tells the story of the singer meeting Marmalade in old Moulin Rouge, where she offers him the chance to hook up. The song's chorus features the Creole phrase, "Gichie, Gichie, ya ya dada," which is an expression of affection or love.


The song's lyrics are suggestive yet ambiguous in nature, allowing for different interpretations. The lyrics may represent the desires of a woman who is empowered to claim her sexual desires or of a man who is in awe of a prostitute's beauty or even of two strangers meeting at the club, and sharing an intense moment. The song is seen as a celebration of sexual liberation in a time when women’s sexuality was still taboo. Furthermore, Lady Marmalade’s theme has been the inspiration for a film and several covers, including Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya, and Pink's version for Moulin Rouge which became a huge hit.

the kind of song with a hella good vibe you can't sing or listen in public;
Even more when you're french and the lyrics they " do you want to sleep with me tonight?" in your language
