Hairspray 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

Every afternoon when the clock strikes four
A crazy bunch of kids crash through that door
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
And we know you turn the sound up
When your parents are gone, yeah

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 negro day
And I'm the man who keeps it spinning round
Mr. Corny Collins with the latest, greatest Baltimore sound

So every afternoon, drop everything
Who needs to read and write when you can dance and sing?

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!

CORNY
So, if every night you're shaking as you lie in bed
And the bass and drums are pounding in your head
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 or a gown
'Cause they're the nicest 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
