Deep In Vogue Lyrics - Singles - Mclaren Malcolm

written by: Malcolm McLaren/David Lebolt 

INTRODUCING LOURDES & WILLIE NINJA 

This has got to be a special tribute to the houses of New York 

Le Beija, Xtravaganza, 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 1, 2, 3 

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 

Imagine runway modelling, in freeze frame 

At the ball that's what they call Vogueing 

Vogueing is a challenge dance 

Instead of fighting you take it out on the dance floor 

10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, 10!, are there anymore! 

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'* 

Deep in Vogue, Deep in Vogue 

The House of Extravaganza the House of Dupree 

Who the hell are they? 

They're nobody, except when they're in that little ballroom
