RuPaul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the dis- in the dis- in the dis- in the dis-
Help me hey hey hey hey hey

Know you're sexy and keep slaying the game
Make the world remember your na-ame
Feel your puss down deep in your soul (hey, hey)
Let your body lose control
Hey kitty girl
It's your world
When you walk the street
Steppin' to the beat
Hey kitty girl
Get your twirl
In the disco heat
You're the boogie-body-rockin' queen

Step aside, I'm back again
So hype, so lit, adrenaline
I'm Shan-ge-la, said what?!
Started as a baby, now I'm all grown up
Gonna take this verse just to let you know (uh-huh)
Never listen to the haters, be a pro
'Cause I work my way, paid my dues
Now I got the whole world screaming halleloo!

Hey kitty girl
It's your world
When you walk the street
Steppin' to the beat
Hey kitty girl
Get your twirl
In the disco heat
You're the boogie-body-rockin' queen

Mirror, mirror on the wall
I'm the fiercest of them all
Face, face, face, body and all
Another day, another slay
Meow meow, savage beauty
Steppin' out on a mission
Get fierce, stay ready
The OG's back for another crown

Hey kitty girl
It's your world
When you walk the street
Steppin' to the beat
Hey kitty girl
Get your twirl
In the disco heat
You're the boogie-body-rockin' queen

Steppin' to the plate I'm Trixie Mattel
Got my name in the game better learn it well
'Cause I'm the MVP heading up to bat
And I'll go to third base but I'd never tell that
I got bleach in the blonde like Pamela
And I'm steppin' out the box like Shangela
I got long thick legs, a tarantula!
And if you call me kitty girl, I can handle ya, uh!

Hey kitty girl
It's your world
When you walk the street
Steppin' to the beat
Hey kitty girl
Get your twirl
In the disco heat
You're the boogie-body-rockin' queen

Boogie-body-rockin' queen
B-boogie-body-rockin' queen
Boogie-body-rockin' queen
B-b-boogie-body-rockin' queen
Boog-boog- boogie-body-rockin' queen
Boogie-body-rockin' queen
Boog-boog- boogie-body-rockin' queen

(Woah oh oh) hey hey hey
Hey Kitty kitty
Hey ki-kitty kitty
Hey kitty kitty, yeah (yeah)
Woah oh oh kitty kitty
Hey ki-kitty kitty
Hey kitty kitty, yeah (yeah)
Woah oh oh

All you have to do is believe in you
In a high heeled shoe
When you walk come through!
Keep on dreaming because dreams come true




No matter what you do keep your head up, Ru!
Hey kitty girl!

2. Trixie's run
3. The judges little dance
4. Chi Chi smiling and holding the curtain. An angel !
5. The cute dancers smiling their heart out
