  • Where's all my soul 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 Joe, you wanna give it a go?"
    Oh, uh-huh

    Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (hey, hey, hey)
    Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, here (here)
    Mocha Chocolata, ya-ya (ooh, yeah)
    Creole Lady Marmalade
    (What-what? What-what?)
    Ooh, oh

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

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

    Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (da-da-da)
    Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, here (ooh, yeah, yeah)
    Mocha Chocolata, ya-ya (yeah, yeah)
    Creole Lady Marmalade

    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
    (Ce soir, what, what, what?)
    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? Ooh

    Yeah, yeah, uh
    We come through with the money and the garter belts
    Let him know we 'bout that cake straight out the gate (uh)
    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
    I'ma keep playing these cats out like Atari
    Wear high heel shoes, get love from the dudes
    Four badass 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 gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya (c'mon)
    Mocha Chocolata (what?)
    Creole Lady Marmalade
    One more time, c'mon now

    Marmalade (ooh)
    Lady Marmalade (ooh, yeah, yeah)
    Marmalade (no, yeah)

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

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

    Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (da-da, yeah)
    Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, here (ooh)
    Mocha Chocolata (ohh), ya-ya (oh)
    Creole Lady Marmalade

    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? (Ce soir)
    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? (All my sistas, yeah)
    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? (Ce soir)
    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ohh (c'mon, uh)

    Christina (hey, oh)
    P!nk (Lady Marmalade)
    Lil' Kim (hey, hey, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
    Mya (oh-oh, oh, ohh)
