He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She say "Hello, hey Joe, you wanna give it a go
And getcha getcha ya ya da da,
Getcha getcha ya ya here
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade."
She say, she say
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?"
He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
And he drank her magnolia wine
Upon her black satin sheets
I swear, he started to freak
When she said
"Getcha getcha ya ya da da
Getcha getcha ya ya here
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade."
She said, she said
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?"
Touchin' her skin, feelin' silky smooth
Color of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until it cried
"More, more, more your ya ya"
Now he's back home
Doin' old nine to five
Livin' his gray flannel life
But when he turns off to sleep
He gets memories that creep
Getche getcha ya ya da da
Getcha getcha ya ya here
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
She said, she said
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?"
