Beauty & The Beat lyrics


Salt N Pepa


Oooh, baby, I like the sound when

The switch is on, and you start poundin

Out my radio and pretty soon

Salt and pepa will boom into the room


Clap your hands now people, clap hard

Clap your hands now people, clap your hands

Clap your hands now people, stomp your feet

Clap your hands now people, clap with me


Listen hard and tell me what you hear

Is it noise or is it def beats in your ear?

You said you want one, and now you got some

Vicious snare, high hats, and a bass drum

First the mix empress to impress you

Cutting right on time and Ill bet you

Didnt know it (did you? ), you cant believe it (could you? )

Word to life, I swear, we wouldnt kid you

And she can cut it up like a wild animal

Slicing and dicing away as a cannibal does

Cuz only a beauty can make you people clap with me


Who is the best?

We are the best!

Whos one of the best?

Youre one of the best!


Why am I so def? why dont I have flaws?

Why do I cut for salt and pepa? because

When my turntable talks your body will listen

To a message ? ? ? tested and kickin

Out of my speakers and into your sneakers

Providing conversation for the woofers and tweeters

When I play the technics obey

Cuz Im a fader translator, a mixboard slave

And im-a do like this on em...this on em


When Im on the floor, beat is like romance

The rhythm makes love to me as I dance

And from what I see its about to be

A relationship between beauty and the beat

Word up yall, its a royal ball

Turn hip-hop clubs into concert halls

Inside is live, if I use up highs

Twelve hundred ? ? ? ?

Power in high drive, the woofers dont lie

Opposites attract so the birthrates high

Your chest and ribcage the bass is poking at

(lower the what? ) stop joking...

We cant do that it possess power

You ask how-a people get louder


[uh, step aside, sir....

Sir, will you please step aside for the....]

Salt and pepa mcs represent beauty

We want yall to see why were the only

Nominee nominated representing our race

This jam is dedicated to all the pretty faces

And were gonna rock like you like

Spinderella on the mix, salt and pepa on the mike

And we can satisfy your desire

We can make your body perspire

Make the men all want to get with it

Then take em down to the ultimate

Sounds and I say: spinderellas not a fella

But a girl dj!
