Deep in Vogue Songtext
von Malcolm McLaren and the Bootzilla Orchestra

(A special tribute)
(To the houses of New York -)
(La Beija and Extravaganza, Magnifique, St. Laurent, Omni, Ebony, Dupree...)

In my black tights just throwing shade
Doing this dance that some queen made

I remember the first time I saw it
Told my brother to put me up on it

It wasn′t easy - no: one, two, three
Took a long time to learn to feel free

But here I am Vogueing pretty
In some club deep in this city

Laah, la, la
Laah, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, laah, la, la


(Deep in Vogue, Deep in Vogue)
(Deep in Vogue)
(Imagine yourself runway modelling...)
(In freeze frame at the ball)
(That's what they call: Vogueing)

It wasn′t easy - no: one, two, three
Took a long time to learn to feel free

But here I am Vogueing pretty
In some club deep in this city

(Deep in Vogue, Deep in Vogue)

(Vogueing is like a challenge dance)
(Instead of fighting you take it out on the dance floor)
(10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10! Are there anymore?)

(Sometimes on a legendary night like the closing of The Garage)
(When the crowd is falling down on their spirits)
(Listen and you will hear the footsteps of all the houses that have walked there before)

(Deep in Vogue, Deep in Vogue)
(Deep in Vogue, Deep in Vogue)
(Deep in Vogue, Deep in Vogue)

(The House of Extravaganza, the House of Ebony, the House of Dupree... who the hell are they?)
(You know that they're somebody when they're in that little ballroom!)
