CORNY
* Intro Hey there, Teenage Baltimore! Don't change that channel! 'Cause it's time for the
(spoken) Corny Collins Show! Brought to you by Ultra Clutch Hairspray!
* Verse 1 CORNY (& COUNCIL MEMBERS)
Ev'ry 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)
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 Every afternoon, you turn your T.V. on
(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 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.
* Bridge 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!!
* Verse 3 So every afternoon, drop everything.
(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.
* Bridge 2 Roll Call!!

* Verse 4 CORNY (& COUNCIL MEMBERS)
So, if every night you're shaking as you lie in bed
(mony-mony, ooh, mony-mony)
And the bass and drums are pounding in your head,
(mony-mony, ooh, mony-mony)
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 and a gown 'cause they're the nicest kids in town.
* Outro They're the nicest, nicest.
They're the nicest, nicest.
They're the sugar 'n' spicest,
The nicest kids in...
Kids in town!
