 He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans

 Gm7                        C
 Strutting her stuff on the street,

           Cm                       D
 She said, "Hello, Joe, you want to give it a go?"  Uh huh

 Voulez-vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?

 Gm7                       C
 Voulez-vous couchez avec moi?

 Sat in her boudoir while she freshened up,
 That boy drank all that magnolia wine.
 On the black satin sheets was where he started to freak

 PRE CHORUS + CHORUS

 BRIDGE

 LICK + Cm7/// //// G/// //// Cm7/// //// D/// ////

 Touching her skin feeling silky smooth
 Color of cafe au lait
 Made the savage beast inside roar 'til he cried

 D
 "More ... More ... More ... More ...

 Now he's back home doing 9 to 5
 Living his grey flannel life
 But when he turns off the street old memories meet

 D
 "More ... More ... More ... More ...
