Hairspray Live! - The Nicest Kids in Town lyrics

[Intro (Spoken): 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 four (Bop bee bop, ba ba ba ba ba, bee bop) A crazy bunch of kids crash through that door, yeah (Bop bee bop, ba ba ba ba ba, bee bop) [Chorus 1: CORNY & ALL] 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 (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 2: 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 [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 (Bop bee bop, ba ba ba ba ba, bee bop) Who needs to read and write when you can dance and sing? (Bop bee bop, ba ba ba ba ba, bee bop) [Chorus 3: 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] R-r-r-roll call! [COUNCIL MEMBERS] 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... Link! [Verse 4: CORNY (COUNCIL MEMBERS)] So, if every night you're shaking as you lie in bed (Pony pony, ooh, pony pony) Shake it, baby! And the ba** and drums are pounding in your head (Pony pony, ooh, pony pony) [Chorus 4: CORNY & ALL] 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 [Outro: CORNY & ALL] 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!
