Lyrics The Nicest Kids In Town - James Marsden

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!
