Madonna - When I first moved to New York... lyrics

When I first moved to New York
I thought about working in a
Topless bar i was really naive and
I read the Village Voice
And it said "Dancers Wanted" and I
Was a dancer at the time
I was studying at the Alvin
Ailey School and thought, "God
A hundred bucks
A night! That's good money" So I'd go
To these agencies and these big
Fat disgusting bald men would be in
These offices and they'd say
"Okay, take your clothes off let me
See you in your underpants we'll
Put some music on and you
Can dance around" I'd go
"Oh it's that kind of dancing" But I
Stuck around anyway i was kind
Of scared but I thought "What could
They do to me?" So
I'd get down to my underpants
And dance for them
But I'd never take the jobs
They were always in
New Jersey besides I got a job nude modeling
For art schools it was easier but I kind
Of like the atmosphere in topless bars i
Mean there are good bars and bad bars
But I always have a good time
When I go i also like gay male
Strip places straight male strip places
Are disgusting those guys can
Never dance only
The guys at the gay clubs can
Dance and they always have really good
Bodies, not real beefy stupid bodies
More slim and beautiful the guys at the
Gaiety have the best bodies and
They are really great dancers but I
Love topless bars too i like
All the guys in the front row
In the baseball caps they are
Usually truckers or Japanese men it's always
Interesting to scope the crowd
