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!

Ev'ry afternoon
When the clock strikes four

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba

CORNY
A crazy bunch of kids
Crash through that door

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba

CORNY
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

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na

CORNY
And we know you turn the sound up
When your parents are gone, yeah

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na

CORNY
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...

ALL
"Negro Day!"

CORNY
And i'm the man who keeps it spinnin' round
Mr. Corny Collins
With the latest, greatest Baltimore sound!!

So every afternoon
Drop everything

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba

CORNY
Who needs to read and write
When you can dance and sing?

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba

CORNY
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
I'm Amber!
Brad!
Tammy!
Fender!
Brenda!
Sketch!
Shelley!
IQ
Lou Ann!
And I'm...LINK!

CORNY
So, if every night you're shaking
As you lie in bed

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Mony-mony, ooh, mony-mony

CORNY
And the bass and drums
Are pounding in your head

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Mony-mony, ooh, mony-mony

CORNY
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

CORNY & COUNCIL MEMBERS
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!
