Lady Marmalade
G.E.M 鄧紫棋 Lyrics

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Encouraging and empowering sisters to showcase their soulful sides and get out there and do their thing.

He met marmalade down in old new orleans Struttin' her stuff on the street
He first encountered Lady Marmalade when she was confidently owning her power while walking down the streets of New Orleans.

She said "hello, Hey joe, you wanna give it a go?" mmm, mmm
Lady Marmalade boldly invited him to join her in a sensual, pleasurable experience.

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da
Expressing the sounds and sensations of a passionate, physical encounter.

Mocha-choca-lata ya ya
Describing her irresistible physical qualities, comparing her skin color to a delicious mocha latte.

Creole lady marmalade
Highlighting her cultural roots as a Creole woman from New Orleans, and her irresistible sweetness like that of marmalade.

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Asking the provocative question of whether he wants to sleep with her in French, suggesting an elegant and romantic experience.

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
He relaxed in her bedroom while she prepared herself, he enjoyed her wine, and he became overwhelmed with desire and passion on her black satin sheets.

Touching her skin feelin' silky smooth The colour of cafe au lait
Describing the physical sensations he experienced while touching her, enjoying the silky smoothness of her skin and admiring the color of her skin reminiscent of a cafe au lait.

Made the savage beast inside Roar until it cried, more, more, more
Stirring up his most primal desires and making him crave for more of her presence and attention.

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
After returning to his regular, mundane life, he still thinks back to his time with Lady Marmalade and yearns for those passionate memories to return.

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da da
Repeating the sounds and sensations of a passionate, physical encounter to emphasize the intensity and excitement.

Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir? Creole lady marmalade
Repeating the French question, and ending the song by reminding us of the seductive, irresistible nature of Lady Marmalade.
