Imma keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wearing high heel shoes, getting love from the dudes

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)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to “Lady Marmalade” by Lil' Kim, Pink, Christina Aguilera, and Mya, are about a sultry woman named Marmalade who meets a man in the Moulin Rouge, seduces him, and asks him if he wants to sleep with her. The lyrics are suggestive and sexual, with phrases like “Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth” and “Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir,” which means “Do you want to sleep with me tonight?” in French. The chorus shows the four singers chanting “Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista” to encourage their fellow women to be confident and embrace their individuality.


The lyrics reflect the sexual liberation of women while also celebrating the power of individuality and female friendship. The character of Marmalade represents a strong, independent woman who is not afraid to pursue what she wants but also enjoys the company of her fellow “soul sistas.” The lyrics suggest that women can have it all - independence, beauty, and power- without needing to compromise their strength.
