The Nicest Kids In Town lyrics

CORNY

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)

Ev'ry afternoon

When the clock strikes four

(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)



A crazy bunch of kids 

Crash through that door 

(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)



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



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 

And once 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!!



COUNCIL MEMBERS

(All of the girls scream.)



CORNY (& COUNCIL MEMBERS)

So, if every night you're shaking

As you lie in bed 

(mony-mony, ooh, mony-mony)



And the bass and drums 

Are pounding in your head 

(mony-mony, ooh, mony-mony)

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

'Cause they're the nicest 

Kids in town 



They're the nicest. Nicest 

They're the nicest, nicest 

They're the sugar 'n' spicest, 

The nicest kids in... 

Kids in town!
