Where’s all mah soul sistas
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 Jo, you wanna give it a go?" Oh! uh huh

Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada (Hey hey hey)
Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here (Here)
Mocha Chocalata ya ya (Oh yea)
Creole lady Marmalade

Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Voulez vous coucher avec moi

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

Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada (Da-da-da)
Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here (Here ooh yeah yeah)

He come through with the money in the garter belts

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
Imma keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wearing high heel shoes, getting love from the dudes
4 bad ass chicks from the Moulin Rouge
Hey sistas, soul sistas, betta get that dough sistas
We drink wine with diamonds in the glass
By the case the meaning of expensive taste
If you wanna Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya
Mocha Chocalate-a what?
Creole Lady Marmalade
One more time c’mon now

Marmalade,
Lady Marmalade,
Marmalade

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

Now he's back home doin' 9 to 5

Sleepin' the grey flannel life

But when he turns off to sleep memories creep,
More, more, more

Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada (Da da yea)
Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here (Ooh)
Mocha Choca lata ya ya (Yea)
Creole lady Marmalade

Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir (Ce soir)

A man came with money and she told him that they were all about their business from the start. They are independent women but sometimes they are mistaken for prostitutes. She is saying that instead of spending her own money, she would rather spend his money. If there is any disagreement about that, then that's too bad. She has control over the situation like a player of Atari game. They have expensive taste with wine and diamonds. They are four bad girls from Moulin Rouge. Hey, ladies! Sisters, embrace that soulful side of yourselves and strive to make money. They drink wine out of diamond glasses and love fine things. If you want to have fun, just come along with them.

Now he is back from the wild world of Moulin Rouge and he is living a normal, mundane life. But when he goes to sleep at night, all he can think about are his wild memories from Moulin Rouge and wants more and more of those wild nights.
