Lady Marmalade

[Uzoma]

What exactly does the French phrase in the chorus of this song mean?

[LeMarchand]

"Voulez vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?" = "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?".

[rinkytink]

The French bit is easy to translate - but what the hell does this bit mean ??

Gitchie, gitchie, ya ya da da (yeah-ey)
Gitchie, gitchie, ya ya here (here)
Mocha Chocolata ya ya (ooh yeah)
Creole Lady Marmalade

[darth vader]

It means "can you direct me to the nearest post office please"

[andy hughes]

I think it means - if you are looking for a good time, youve come to the right place! (young man!!!)

Although these are generally considered nonsense words, people say that "Gitchi yaya dada" is how New Orleans prostitute say "get your sex, daddy." However, so far, there isnt any proof of this, but it certainly sounds reasonable. Mocha chocolata is the reference to the prostitute's light brown skin color. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir means Do you want to sleep with me tonight (This is French, not slang) Creole is a person of French or Spanish descent, who is a native inhabitant of Louisiana. I hope that answers many of peoples queries!!!
