CORNY<br>
Hey there, Teenage Baltimore! <br>
Don't change that channel! <br>
'Cause it's time for the Corny <br>
Collins Show! Brought to you by <br>
Ultra Clutch Hairspray!<br>
<br>
CORNY (& COUNCIL MEMBERS)<br>
Ev'ry afternoon<br>
When the clock strikes four<br>
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)<br>
<br>
A crazy bunch of kids <br>
Crash through that door <br>
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)<br>
<br>
They throw off their coats <br>
And leave the squares behind <br>
And then they shake it, shake it, shake it <br>
Like they're losing their mind<br>
You'll never see them frown <br>
'Cause they're the nicest kids in town<br>
<br>
Every afternoon <br>
You turn your T.V. on <br>
(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na) <br>
<br>
And we know you turn the sound up <br>
When your parents are gone, yeah <br>
(na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na) <br>
<br>
And then you twist and shout<br>
For your favorite star <br>
And once you've practiced every step<br>
That's in your repertoire <br>
You better come on down <br>
And meet the nicest kids in town<br>
<br>
Nice white kids<br>
Who like to lead the way<br>
And once a month<br>
We have our "negro day!"<br>
And i'm the man who keeps it spinnin' round <br>
Mr. Corny Collins <br>
With the latest, greatest Baltimore sound!!<br>
<br>
So every afternoon <br>
Drop everything <br>
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba)<br>
<br>
Who needs to read and write <br>
When you can dance and sing?<br>
(bop-bee-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, bee-ba) <br>
<br>
Forget about your algebra <br>
And calculus <br>
You can always do your homework <br>
On the morning bus <br>
Can't tell a verb from a noun <br>
They're the nicest kids in town <br>
<br>
Roll Call!!<br>

<br>
CORNY (& COUNCIL MEMBERS)<br>
So, if every night you're shaking<br>
As you lie in bed <br>
(pony-pony, ooh, pony-pony)<br>
<br>
And the bass and drums <br>
Are pounding in your head <br>
(mony-mony, ooh, mony-mony)<br>
Who cares about sleep <br>
When you can snooze in<br>
School?<br>
<br>
They'll never get to college <br>
But they sure look cool <br>
Don't need a cap and a gown<br>
'Cause they're the nicest <br>
Kids in town <br>
<br>
They're the nicest. Nicest <br>
They're the nicest, nicest <br>
They're the sugar 'n' spicest, <br>
The nicest kids in... <br>
Kids in town!<br>
<br>
