Nasty / Rhythm Nation
[JAKE]
Gimme a beat!
Sitting in the movie show, thinking nasty thoughts, huh

[MARLEY]
Better be a gentlemen or you'll turn me off, huh
That's right, a-let me tell it

[JAKE with THE CHEERIOS]
Nasty, nasty boys don't mean a thing, huh
Oh, you nasty boys
Nasty, nasty boys don't ever change, huh
Oh, you nasty boys

[JAKE (THE CHEERIOS)]
Don't like no nasty girl
I don't like nasty food, huh (Ooooh yeah)
The only nasty thing I like is a nasty groove, huh

[MARLEY]
Will this one do?
Uh huh, I know, sing

[JAKE with THE CHEERIOS]
Nasty, nasty boys don't mean a thing, huh
Oh, you nasty boys
Nasty, nasty boys don't ever change, huh
Oh, you nasty boys
[BREE & MARLEY]
I could learn to like this
Listen up

[MARLEY (THE CHEERIOS)]
I'm not a prude (No!)
I just want some respect (That's right!)
So close the door if you want me to respond, (Ooooh yeah)

[BREE with THE CHEERIOS]
'Cause privacy is my middle name
My last name is Control
No, my first name ain't baby
It's Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty

[THE CHEERIOS]
Nasty boys
