Original Broadway Cast of Moulin Rouge! The Musical - Welcome to the Moulin Rouge! lyrics

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister
Flow sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister
Flow sister

He met marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said "hello, hey Joe
You wanna give it a go?"

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da
Itchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha-choca lata 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
(hey sister, go sister, soul sister
Flow sister)
That boy drank all that magnolia wine
(hey sister, go sister, soul sister
Flow sister) on her black satin sheets where
He started to freak

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da
Itchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha-choca lata ya ya creole lady marmalade

Hello, chickens! Yes! It’s me
Your own beloved Harold Zidler in the flesh!
Welcome to the Moulin Rouge!

Because the can-can can
(Because the can-can can)
Because the can-can can
(Because the can-can can)

Ari-ari-ari ah (Ari-ari-ari ah)
Ori-ori-ori oh (Ori-ori-ori oh)

Because the can-can can
(Because the can-can can)
Because the can-can can
(Because the can-can can)

Because the can-can can can can can can can
Everybody can can can! (Woo! Woo! Woo)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Everybody can can! (Because the can-can can)
(Because the can-can can)
(Because the can-can can)
(Because the can-can can)
(Because the can-can can)

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da
Itchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha-choca lata ya ya creole lady marmalade

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Hey, hey hey hey

Everybody can-can

For the gallery it’s peanuts and lager
But for the aristocracy
It’s quail eggs and caviar
Ladies and gentleman may I introduce
The Duke du Monroth

(Who do you think you are?)
Ain't nobody dope as me I'm
Dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)
Don't you think I'm so sexy I'm
Dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
I got money (That’s what I want)
That’s what I want (That’s what I want)
That’s what I want that’s what I want
(That’s what I want) that’s what I want
(That’s what I want)

Your love is such a thrill
But your love won't pay my bills
Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use i got money
(That's what I want) i got money
(That's what I want) i got money
(That's what I want)

Why must I live this way?
(Hey, must be the money)

But there is another Paris, yes?
These are the rats of the latin quarter
The starving artists and
Thieves of Montmartre our own
Beloved bohemians!

Watch out you might get what you're after
Rouge, baby strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy burning down the house

My house! out of the ordinary
That's right! Don't wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

Let’s dance let’s sway
Let’s dance let’s sway

And now it’s time for the breakdown

Watch out you might get what you're after
Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)

This is where all your dreams come true
You are the Moulin Rouge!

Marmalade lady marmalade
Marmalade hey, hey hey

Itchi gitchi ya ya da da
(You spin my head right round, right round)
Itchi gitchi ya ya here
(When you go down, when you go down, down)
Mocha-choca lata ya ya creole lady marmalade
Ah, Ah creole lady marmalade

Whooo!
