The Nicest Kids In Town Lyrics - Singles - Hairspray

Hey there, Teenage Baltimore! 

Don't change that channel! 

'Cause it's time for the Corny 

Collins Show! Brought to you by 

Ultra Clutch Hairspray! 

CORNY (& COUNCIL MEMBERS) 

Oh every afternoon 

When the clock strikes four 

(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba) 

A crazy bunch of kids 

Crash through that door yeah 

(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba) 

Well they throw off their coats 

And leave the squares behind 

And then they shake it, shake it, shake it 

Like they're losing their mind 

You'll never see them frown 

'Cause they're the nicest kids in town 

So every afternoon 

You turn your T.V. on 

(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na) 

And we know you turn the sound up 

When your parents are gone, yeah 

(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na) 

And then you twist and shout 

For your favorite star 

Then you've practiced every step 

That's in your repertoire 

You better come on down 

And meet the nicest kids in town 

Nice white kids 

Who like to lead the way 

And once a month 

We have our "negro day!" 

And I'm the man who keeps it spinnin' round 

Mr. Corny Collins 

With the latest, greatest Baltimore sound!! 

So every afternoon 

Drop everything 

(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba) 

Who needs to read and write 

When you can dance and sing? 

(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba) 

Forget about your algebra and calculus 

You can always do your homework 

On the morning bus 

Can't tell a verb from a noun 

They're the nicest kids in town 

Roll Call!!

CORNY (& COUNCIL MEMBERS) 

So, if every night you're shaking 

As you lie in bed 

(pony-pony, ooh, pony-pony) 

And the bass and drums 

Are pounding in your head 

(pony-pony, ooh, pony-pony) 

Who cares about sleep 

When you can snooze in school 

They'll never get to college 

But they sure look cool 

Don't need a cap and a gown 

When your the nicest 

Kids in town 

Nicest kids in... 

Kids in town! 

Woo!
