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

Oh every afternoon

when the clock

strikes four

A crazy bunch

of kids crash

through that door

yeah

They throw off

their coats

and leave the squares

behind

And then they shake it

shake it, shake it

like they're losing

their minds

You never see

them frown

'cause they're the

nicest kids in town

wow!

Ohh every afternoon

you turn your TV on

And we know you

turn the sound up

when your parents

are gone yeah

And you twist and shout

for your favourite star

and once you've practised

every step into

your repertoire

You'd 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 a negro day

and I'm the man

to keep it spinnin'

round

Mr Corny Collins

with the latest

greatest

Baltimore sound

So every afternoon

drop everything

Who needs to

read and write

when you can

dance and sing

ra-ra reeba ra ba reebo

Forget about your algebra

and calculas

you can always do

your homework

on the morning bus

Can't tell a verb

from a noun

but they're the

nicest kids in town

Roll call

I'm Amber

Brad

Tammy, Fender, Brenda

Sketch, Shelly, IQ

Louen and I'm

Link

So if you ever wanna

shake it and you're

lyin' in bed

brrrrr wow

And the bass and drums

are boomin' in your head

yeah

Who cares about sleep

when you can

snooze in school

You'll never get to college

but you'll sure look cool

don't need a cap and

gown 'cos they're the

nicest kids in town

Yeah they're the

nicest, nicest

woah the nicest, nicest

They're the sugar

and spices

the nicest kids in

Kids in town
