About This Track

A celebration of feminine power and sexual confidence, 'Glamazon' casts a woman as an unstoppable force of nature. RuPaul builds the track around a simple, repeatable hook that names her as a "female phenomenon", whilst the verses stack boasts and invitations to dance. The pre-chorus calls out "Sashay! Shantay!" in call-and-response, a nod to the language of the drag stage, and the production leans into arena-ready bombast with its driving beat and layered vocal arrangements. The music video, released in 2012, enlists three finalists from the fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race as towering, Godzilla-style creatures destroying a retro video-game cityscape. It's a visual metaphor made literal: these glamazons are not to be contained or diminished. The track itself moves at a clip, its three-and-a-half-minute runtime packed with repetition and momentum, designed less for introspection than for the dancefloor and the runway.

"Glamazon" is a track by RuPaul, from the album Glamazon, released 3rd May 2011. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Glamazon

[Verse 1]

Everybody wants her, Miss Sexy in the city

She’s on the prowl, she rock this town

Who’s that girl? A fly ferocious lady

Get up and dance

Get up, get up and...

[Pre-Chorus]

Sashay! Shantay!

Panther on the runway!

Do it. Do it. Oh

All the girls say

"Sashay! Shantay! Panther on the runway!"

Do it. Do it. Oh

All the boys say, "Welcome to the jungle!"

[Chorus]

She's so wild! So animal!

She's gonna work that sexy body, so sexual

She's like a female phenomenon, she's a glamazon

A female phenomenon. A glama-z-a-a-on

She's so wild! So animal!

She's gonna work that sexy body! So sexual!

She's like a female phenomenon, she's a glamazon

A female phenomenon. A glama-z-a-a-on

[Verse 2]

Nobody do it like her, she's taking names and kicking-

Ask! You shall receive, what do you need?

It's all right, it's all about the body

Tonight's the night!

Get up, get up and...

[Pre-Chorus]

Sashay! Shantay!

Panther on the runway!

Do it. Do it. Oh

All the girls say

"Sashay! Shantay! Panther on the runway!"

Do it. Do it. Oh

All the boys say, "Welcome to the jungle!"

[Chorus]

She's so wild! So animal!

She's gonna work that sexy body, so sexual

She's like a female phenomenon, she's a glamazon

A female phenomenon. A glama-z-a-a-on

She's so wild! So animal!

She's gonna work that sexy body! So sexual!

She's like a female phenomenon, she's a glamazon

A female phenomenon. A glama-z-a-a-on

[Bridge]

Ladyboys and girls

And those who dream to rule the world!

Smokey eyes! Cherry lips!

Stilettos on! Now break it down..

Oh, oh! Oh, oh!

Oh, oh! She's a glamazon

Oh, oh! Oh, oh!

Oh, oh! She's a glamazon

(Get up and)

[Pre-Chorus (Variation)]

Sashay! Shantay!

Panther on the runway!

Do it. Do it. Oh

All the girls say

"Sashay! Shantay! Panther on the runway!"

Do it. Do it. Oh

All the boys say, "She's so bloody tall!"

[Chorus]

She's so wild! So animal!

She's gonna work that sexy body! So sexual!

She's like a female phenomenon. She's a glamazon

A female phenomenon. A glama-z-a-a-on

She's so wild! So animal!

She's gonna work that sexy body! So sexual!

She's like a female phenomenon. She's a glamazon

A female phenomenon. A glama-z-a-a-on
