I saw her standin on the street
looking good in the ghetto heat
I looked the other way
then she preceded to speak
I could barely understand her wordz
through her gold teeth and her
N'Orleanz accent so sweet
she waz feeled with Louisianna fire
now wize don't kiss and tell
but in the wordz of Patti Labelle
GITCHI, GITGHI YA YA YA YA
sraight out of the Magnolia projectz
B.W Cooper, Calio, Calliope
blown my way by Hurricaine Katrina
she said her name waz Wilhelmina
my heart sung have you seen her
she called me shay
that'z not my name but that'z okay
parle vu France
she put her number in my phone
I knew I had to delete it before I got home
knowin I don't live alone
break up to make up iz my song
I looked down at her feet
thoze toez looked good enough to eat
she asked me did I like boudain
I love it I proclaimed
she gave me her adress then said
"stop by some time you hear shay"
I said okay
now Wize don't kiss and tell but
In the wordz of Miss Patti Labelle
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Ta Ta
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha choca lata Ya Ya
I hate red beanz
I don't like pecanz
but I love pralinez
Frankz hot sauce on short thighz & chicken wingz
now wize don't kiss and tell but
In the wordz of Miss Patti Labelle
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Ta Ta
Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha choca lata Ya Ya
All Hail to the Queen of New Orleanz
Creole Lady Marmalade
I arived home turned on the lightz
"what do you want for dinner tonight"
It don't matter I usually say
but I had this strong craving
for crawfish etouffe
