The Nicest Kids In Town

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
 (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)
 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
 ♪
 Oh, every afternoon
 You turn your T.V. on, huh
 (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 favourite 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!
 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, woo!
 (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
 R-r-r-roll Call!
 I'm Amber!
 Brad!
 Tammy!
 Fender!
 Brenda!
 Sketch!
 Shelley!
 I.Q!
 Lou Ann!
 Joey!
 Mikey, Vicki, Becky, Bix, Jessie, Darla, Paulie!
 Noreen!
 Doreen!
 And I'm... Link!
 So, if every night you're shaking
 As you lie in bed
 (Pony-pony, ooh, pony-pony) Shake it baby!
 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'll sure look cool
 Don't need a cap or a gown
 When you're the nicest kids in town
 They're the nicest, nicest
 They're the nicest, nicest
 Well, they're the sugar and spice-est
 Nicest kids in...
 Kids in town, woo!
