Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin’ her stuff on the street
She said “Hello, hey Joe
You wanna give it a go?”
Mmm, mmm
Gitchy gitchy ya ya da da
Gitchy gitchy ya ya here
Mocha choca lata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
The boy drank all that magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets where he started to freak
Gitchy gitchy ya ya da da
Gitchy gitchy ya ya here
Mocha choca lata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
Hey, hey, hey
Touching her skin feelin’ silky smooth
Color of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside roar until it cried
More, more, more
Now he’s back home doing 9 to 5
Living his grey flannel life
But when he turns off to sleep old memories meet
More, more, more
Gitchy gitchy ya ya da da
Gitchy gitchy ya ya here
Mocha choca lata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (4X)
Gitchy gitchy ya ya da da
Gitchy gitchy ya ya here
Mocha choca lata ya ya

In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats how it yells in my ear
Don’t you know, little fool
You never can win
Why not use your mentality
Step up, wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
‘Cause I’ve got you under my skin
Yes, I’ve got you under my skin

Jessie is a friend
Yeah I know he’s been a good friend of mine
But lately something’s changed that ain’t hard to define
Jessie’s got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
And she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s loving him with that body I just know it
Yeah and he’s holding her in his arms late late at night
You know I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that
I play along with the charade
There doesn’t seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot
‘Cause she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s lovin’ him with that body I just know it
And he’s holding her in his arms late late at night
You know I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that
Like Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman
Where can I find a woman like that
And I’m looking in the mirror all the time
Wonderin’ what she don't see in me
I’ve been funny I’ve been cool with the lines
Ain’t that the way love’s supposed to be
Tell me where can I find a woman like that
You know I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I want Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that
Like Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I want I want Jessie’s girl
