[Spoken Intro]
This has got to be a special tribute
To the houses of New York
LaBeija and Extravaganza
Magnifique, St. Laurent, Omni, Ebony, Dupree
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
La, la la
La, la la
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la la
La la
[Chorus]
Deep in Vogue
Deep in Vogue
Deep in Vogue
[Spoken]
Imagine yourself, runway modelling in freeze frame
At the ball, that's what they call Vogueing
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Deep in Vogue
Deep in Vogue
[Spoken]
Vogueing is like a challenge dance there
Instead of fighting, you take it out on the dance floor
10! 10! 10! 10! 10! 10! 10! 10! 10!
Are there any more?
Sometimes on a legendary night
Like the closing of the Garage
When the crowd is calling down the spirits
Listen, and you will hear
The footsteps of all the houses that walked there before
[Chorus]
Deep in Vogue
Deep in Vogue
Deep in Vogue
Deep in Vogue
Deep in Vogue
Deep in Vogue
[Spoken Outro]
The House of Extravaganza, the House of Ebony
The House of Dupree
Who the hell are they?
You know, they're somebody when they're in that little ballroom
