- Lady Marmalade Lyrics / with translationsHey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go 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?"
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
He stayed in her boudoir
While she freshened up
That boy drank all that Magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets
Where he started to freak
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Hey, hey, hey
Seeing her skin, feeling silky smooth
Color of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roaring until it cried, "More, more, more!"
Now he's at home doing 9 to 5
Living his brave life of lies
But when he turns off to sleep
All memories keep more, more, more
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello, hey Joe

When we take a closer look to the meaning, the famous track of Labelle, 'Lady Marmalade', narrates the events of a man's meeting with a sultry lady called Marmalade, in the city of New Orleans. The lyricists employed symbols such as 'Gitchi-gitchi, ya-ya' and 'Mocha chocolata, ya-ya' to depict the magnetic pull and the eroticism of the meeting. The man comes back to his dull life but the passion he experienced with Marmalade that night is still fresh in his mind, hence the repetition of 'More, more, more!' as a reminder of it. It is a song that refers to the already mentioned aspects of want, escape, and the difference between illusion and truth. Besides, the song mentions love, party, joy, nostalgia, and reflection as the main subjects of Lady marmalade lyrics. It also emphasizes the need for desire and seduction as well as nostalgia and memory. The very words of the song imply alluding to suggestive themes and to really adults' activities, the phrase 'Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?' being the most illustrative example, for it basically means 'Do you want to sleep with me tonight?'. That renders the matter sexual and thus dominantly for the older listeners. The absence of any explicit content does not take away the necessity of assigning a PG-13 rating to the song due to the mature themes discussed.
