🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I was born this way, hey
  • I was born this way, hey
  • I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey
  • I was born this way, hey

Sing the opening verse

  • Just put your paws up
  • 'Cause you were born this way, baby
  • My mama told me when I was young, "We are all born superstars"
  • She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on in the glass of her boudoir
