Lady Marmalade Lyrics

[Intro: All]
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister

[Verse 1: Shaznay]
Do you fancy an ah, hit it in the sack
Yes my kitty cat is all that
And then some, you are the one
Gotta represent, gotta go the whole run
We could play all night, gotta do it right
Snuggle up, huddle up, nice and tight
My place or yours, gotta be raw
Don't really matter once we get through the door

[Chorus 1: Melanie, Natalie]
Coochy coochy ya ya da da
Coochy coochy ya ya here
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Where you think you're sleeping tonight?

[Chorus 2: Melanie with all]
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

[Verse 2: Melanie]
Now come on and share all your deep fantasies
I'm asking, not telling you, please
Show me all night you can do me right
Take me where I wanna be
And I'll be singin'

[Chorus 1: Melanie, Natalie]
Coochy coochy ya ya da da
Coochy coochy ya ya here
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Where you think you're sleeping tonight?

[Chorus 2: Melanie with all]
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

[Post-Chorus: All]
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister

[Verse 3: Shaznay]
Mocha chocolata ha, coucher ce soir
Wrong, wrong, that's right
Bring it on daddy, it's the bedroom fight
Gonna head for your draws
And pull them off fast
Gotta keep up, if you think you can last
Gotta get wet, are you ready yet?
On your marks, get set

[Chorus: Melanie with all]
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

[Outro: All]
Hey sister, go sister
Soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister

About

English-Canadian girl band All Saints released a cover of Labelle’s 1974 hit “Lady Marmalade” as a double A-side with “Under the Bridge”, itself a cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1994 hit.

Whilst Labelle’s original version only reached number 17 in the UK, All Saints' cover went straight to the top to became their second number-one hit, after 1997’s “Never Ever”.

Just three years later, a far more commercially successful version of the song was recorded by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil Kim and Mýa for the film Moulin Rouge!
