The Nicest Kids In Town - James Marsden/Motion Picture Cast of Hairspray

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

A crazy bunch of kids

Crash through that door yeah

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 spinnin' 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

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 and a gown

When you're the nicest

Kids in town

They're the nicest nicest

They're the nicest nicest

They're the sugar and spicest

The nicest kids in

Kids in town
