Bite the beat
It tastes so good
Bite it til your satisfied
Ain't nothing wrong with dancing all night long-
You can still be dignified
When I first saw your teeth I knew you were the only one qualified
To bite the beat
Dont try to call your mother
Just bite it til your satisfied-all you do is bite the beat
Bite the Beat
Come on baby bite the beat
Bite the Beat
Bite the beat
It won't make you sick
Come on- bite the beat of a star
Dont worry you'll still be dignified it tastes like cavier
When I first saw your teeth I knew you were the only one qualified
To bite the beat
Dont try to call your mother
Just bite it til your satisfied-all you do is bite the beat
Bite the Beat
Come on honey bite the beat
Bite the Beat
Bite the beat
It'll do you no harm unless you choke on a guitar string
Peanut butter, thoughts of love...I wanna dance- I dont wanna sing
Check it
(music interlude)
Ah- bite the beat
Bite the beat
Come on baby bite the beat
Bite the beat
Bite the beat
It won't make you sick
Come on bite the beat of a star
Dont worry you'll still be dignified- it tastes like cavier
Bite it
That's right...there are no more wet dreams for Brenda-
At least not tonight ah come on- bite it (laughter)
Bite the beat
Bite the beat

Vanity 6 were a short-lived female vocal trio that came out of Prince’s funk-rock empire and assembled in 1981. Vanity 6 were formed in Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis, where singer/actress Vanity (whose real name was Denise Matthews) got together with fellow singers Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie. Backed by The Time, Vanity 6 recorded their self-titled debut album, released in 1982 by Warner Bros. The single “Nasty Girl” became a major hit, and like Prince’s albums, Vanity 6 successfully bridged the gap between R&B/funk and rock/pop/new wave. Vanity 6’s first album was also their last; in late 1983, Vanity left the group and signed with Motown as a solo artist. Moonsie and Bennett, meanwhile, hooked up with singer Apollonia (another Prince disciple) and formed a new group called Apollonia 6.
