HEY, THERE

DON'T CHANGE THAT CHANNEL
'CAUSE IT'S TIME
FOR THE CORNY COLLINS SHOW
BROUGHT TO YOU BY
ULTRA CLUTCH HAIRSPRAY
Sung...
OH, EVERY AFTERNOON
WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES FOUR
WELL, A CRAZY BUNCH OF KIDS
CRASH THROUGH THAT DOOR
YEAH
WELL, THEY
THROW OFF THEIR COATS
AND LEAVE THE SQUARES BEHIND
AND THEN THEY
SHAKE IT, SHAKE IT, SHAKE IT
LIKE THEY'RE LOSIN' 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!
YEAH, WE KNOW
YOU TURN THE SOUND UP
WHEN YOUR PARENTS ARE GONE
YEAH
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
