Labelle, Chic and Rose Royce Sounds of the Seventies

This is Lady Marmalade.

# Hey sister, go sister Soul sister, flow sister

# Hey sister, go sister Soul sister, flow sister

# He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans

# Strutting her stuff on the street

# She said, Hello, hey Joe Do you wanna give it a go?

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, ta-ta

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, here

# Mocha chocolata 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

# Boy drank all that Magnolia wine

# On her black satin sheets is where he started to freak

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, ta-ta

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, here

# Mocha chocolata ya-ya

# Creole Lady Marmalade Come on, come on!

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

# Go sister!

# Soul sister!

# Ah! Ah! A-a-a-h!

# Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth

# Colour of cafe au lait

# Makes the savage beast inside roar until he cried

# More, more, more!

# Now he's come home doin' 9 to 5

# Living his grey flannel life

# But when he turns off to sleep, memories creep

# More, more, more!

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, ta-ta

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, here

# Mocha chocolata ya-ya

# Creole Lady Marmalade!

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, ta-ta

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, here

# Mocha chocolata, ya-ya

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, ta-ta

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

# And you can get your, get your ya-ya here

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

# And you can get your ya-ya there

# Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

# And you can...

APPLAUSE

# And you can

# Gitchy, gitchy, ya-ya, here! #

# You abandoned me

# Love don't live here any more

# Just a vacancy

# Love don't live here any more

# When you lived inside of me

# There was nothing I could conceive

# That you wouldn't do for me

# Trouble seemed so far away

# You changed that right away, baby

# You abandoned me

# Love don't live here any more

# Just a vacancy

# Love don't live here any more

# Love don't live here any more

# Just emptiness and memories

# Of what we had before

# You went away

# Found another place to stay, another home

# You've abandoned me

# Love don't live her any more

# Just a vacancy, babe

# Love don't live here any more

# Through the windows of my eyes

# Everyone can see

# The loneliness inside me

# Why'd you have to go away?

# Don't you know I miss you so and need your love?

# You've abandoned me

# Love don't live here any more

# Just a vacancy, babe

# Love don't live here, live here no more

# No, no, no! #
