Lyrics

[Intro: 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 [Verse 1: Corny & Council Members] Oh, every afternoon when the clock strikes 4 (Bop-bee-bop, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-bop) Well, a crazy bunch of kids crash through that door, yeah (Bop-bee-bop, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-bop) [Chorus: Corny & All] Oh, 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 [Verse 2: Corny & Council Members] Oh, every afternoon, you turn your TV on, huh (Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na) Yeah, we know you turn the sound up when your parents are gone, yeah (Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na) [Chorus: Corny & All] Then you twist and shout for your favorite star And when you've practiced every step that's in your repertoire You better come on down And meet the nicest kids in town, woo [Bridge: Corny & All] 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 spinning 'round Mr. Corny Collins with the latest, greatest Baltimore sound [Verse 3: Corny & Council Members] So every afternoon, drop everything, woo (Bop-bee-bop, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-bop) Who needs to read and write when you can dance and sing? Ah, na-na-na-na (Bop-bee-bop, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-bop) [Chorus: Corny & All] 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 [Spoken: Corny & Council Members] R-r-r-roll call I'm Amber, Brad Tammy, Fender, Brenda, Sketch Shelly, IQ, Lou Ann, Joey Mikey, Vicki, Becky, Bix, Jessie, Darla, Pauly Noreen, Doreen And I'm...

They'll never get to college, but they'll sure look cool Don't need a cap or a gown When you're the nicest kids in town [Outro: Corny & All] Yeah, they're the nicest, nicest They're the nicest, nicest Well, they're the sugar 'n' spice-est Nicest kids in Kids in town, woo
