[Intro: Lil' Kim, Mýa, Christina Aguilera & P!nk]
Where's all my soul sistas?

She said, "Hello, hey, Joe! You wanna give it a go?"
Oh, uh-huh
[Chorus: Mýa, Christina Aguilera & P!nk, Mýa, Lil' Kim]
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (Hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 2: P!nk]
He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up (Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista)
Boy drank all that Magnolia wine (Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista)
On her black satin sheets where he started to freak, yeah
[Chorus: Mýa, Christina Aguilera & P!nk, P!nk, Lil' Kim]
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (Da-da-da)

Yeah, yeah, uh
We come through with the money and the garter belts
Let him know we 'bout that cake straight out the gate (Uh)
We independent women, some mistake us for whores
I'm sayin', "Why spend mine when I can spend yours?"
Disagree? Well, that's you, and I'm sorry
I'mma keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wear high heel shoes, get love from the dudes
Four badass chicks from the Moulin Rouge, uh
Hey sistas, soul sistas, betta get that dough, sistas
We drink wine with diamonds in the glass
By the case, the meaning of expensive taste
If you wanna Gitchie, Gitchie, ya-ya (Come on)
Mocha Chocolata (What?)
Real Lady Marmalade
One more time, c'mon now
[Interlude: All, Christina Aguilera & Mýa]
Marmalade (Ooh, oh)

Touch of her skin, feeling silky smooth, oh
Color of café au lait, alright
Made the savage beast inside roar until he cried
More (More), more (More), more
[Verse 5: P!nk, Mýa, Christina Aguilera, All]
Now he's back home doin' nine to five (Nine to five)
He's livin' the grey flannel life
Oh baby turns off to sleep, memories creep
More (More), more (More), more
[Chorus: Mýa, Christina Aguilera, P!nk & Lil' Kim, Christina Aguilera, Mýa]
Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da-da (Da-da, yeah)
