[SUE]
Strike a pose
Strike a pose
[KURT & MERCEDES]
Vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue
[SUE (KURT & MERCEDES)]
Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache
It's everywhere that you go (Go, go, go, go)
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know, know (Life that you know)
When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It's called a dance floor, and here's what it's for, so
Come on, vogue (Vogue)
Let your body move to the music (Move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey!
Come on, vogue (Vogue)
Let your body go with the flow (Go with the flow)
You know you can do it
All you need is your own imagination
So use it, that's what it's for (That's what it's for)
Go inside, for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door (Open up the door)
It makes no difference if you're black or white
If you're a boy or a girl
If the music's pumping, it will give you new life
[MERCEDES & SUE with KURT]
You're a superstar
Yes, that's what you are, you know it
[SUE (KURT & MERCEDES), with KURT]
Come on, vogue (Uh, vogue)
Let your body move to the music (Move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey!
Come on, vogue (Vogue)
Let your body go with the flow (Go with the flow)
You know you can do it
Beauty's where you find it
(Not just where you bump and grind it)
Soul is in the musical
That's where I feel so beautiful
Magical, life's a ball
So get up on the dance floor
Come on, vogue (Uh, Vogue)
Let your body move to the music (Move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey!
Come on, vogue (Uh, Vogue)
Let your body go with the flow (Go with the flow)
You know you can do it
Vogue (Vogue)
Beauty's where you find it (Move to the music)
Vogue (Vogue)
Beauty's where you find it (Go with the flow)

Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it
Vogue (Vogue, vogue, vogue)
Vogue (Vogue, vogue, vogue)
Vogue (Vogue, vogue)

Actress Jane Lynch, who portrays Sue, on shooting the video for the song:
For me, they are both the same—it’s when we shot the “Vogue” video. There was some dancing in that, and it was really hard. I literally did not get one of these particular steps until the last minute. We got it once and that’...
