"Dance for Money" (also known as "Dance Money"[S 1] and "Lemonade Motorcy", and erroneously known as "I'll Be Your Summertime") is an unreleased song by Lana Del Rey. It was uploaded to her Myspace page in June 2008.

Background[]

A snippet of the song leaked on August 15, 2016, under the false title "I'll Be Your Summertime". The full song leaked on August 20. The original file of the song leaked under the title "Lemonade Motorcy" on December 22, 2023.

The song was included on a 20-track demo compilation put together by Del Rey in March 2009, titled Demo March 2009.

With the song's alternate title and lyrical content, paired with the lack of information known about the later track produced by David Kahne, it is speculated that this song may be related to "Lemonade Motorcycle Heaven".[S 1] An alternate version of the song has been rumored to exist, which is supported by the incongruent recording date and date the song was uploaded to Del Rey's Myspace. The title "Dance Money" has never been fully confirmed to be related to this song.

Lyrics[]

I like them over 50 (Oh, really?)
I like to dance for money (Oh, honey)
I like 'em over 50 (Oh, honey)
I like to dance for money

Lemonade, motorcycles
Lemonade, motorcycles
Lemonade

I'll be your private dancer
I'll wear my gold nail polish
You like the way I wear my hair up, white
I like your ivy lie

I like 'em over 50 (Uh huh)
I like to play for money (Uh huh)
I like 'em over 50 (Uh huh)
I like to play for money (Hey)

Lemonade, motorcycles
Lemonade, motorcycles
Lemonade, motorcycles

I can be your summertime
Baby, you can call me May
I can be your champagne wine
You can love me in my gold lamé
Oooh

I'll be your private dancer (Yes, yes, I will)
I'll wear my gold nail polish (Y-yes, I will)
You like the way I wear my hair up, white
I like your ivy lie

Yes, yes I do (Yes, yes I do)
I know (I know)
That I need you for a while
That I need you for a while (Yes, yes)
I need you for a while (Yes, yes, yes, yes)

I'll be your private dancer
I'll wear my gold nail polish
You like the way I wear my hair up, white
I like your ivy lie
(Yes, yes, I do, yes, yes)

I'll be your private dancer (Yes)
I'll wear my gold nail polish
You like the way I wear my hair up, white
I like your ivy lie (Yes)
