[Eb7]hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot!)

[Ab7]Ev'ry afternoon when the [C#7]clock strikes four [Ab7]
(bop bee ba, ba [Ab7]ba ba ba ba, bee ba)
A [C#7]crazy bunch of kids crash [C#7]through that door[Ab7]
(bop bee ba, ba [Ab7]ba ba ba ba, bee ba)

They [Eb]throw off their coats
And leave the [C#]squares behind
And then they [Eb]shake it, shake it, shake it
Like they're [C#]losing their mind
You'll never [Eb]see them frown
'Cause they're the [C#]nicest [B]kids [C#]in [Ab]town[Ab7]

(Ooh [Ebm7]ooooo[Ab7],
Ooh ooh ooo[E7])

[A7]Every afternoon you turn your [D7]T.V. on

And we [D7]know you turn the sound up when your parents are gone, yeah!
([A7]na, na, na, na, na[A7], na na na na)

And then you [E]twist and shout
For your [D]favorite star
And once you've [E]practiced every step
That's in your [D]repertoire
You better [E]come on down
And meet the [D]nicest [C]kids [D/A]in to[A7]wn

[D7]Nice white kids who like to lead the way
And [A]once a month we have our "negro day!"
And [F#m]i'm the man who keeps it [B]spinnin' round
Mr. [D]Corny Collins with the latest[B],
Greatest Baltimore[E]
Sound[F]!!

So [Bb7]every afternoon drop [Eb7]everything [Bb7]
(bop bee ba, ba ba ba ba ba, bee ba)
Who need[Eb7]s to read and write when you can dance and sing[Bb7]?
(bop bee ba, ba [Bb7]ba ba ba ba, bee ba)

For[F]get about your algebra
And [Eb]calculus
You can [F]always do your homework
On the [Eb]morning bus
Can't tell a [F]verb from a noun
They're the [Eb]nicest [C#]kids [Eb]in [Bb]town[Bb7]
(Ooh ooo[Fm7]oo) [Eb]    [Ab]

So, if [B7]every night you're shaking as you [E7]lie in bed [B7]
(mony mony, ah ooh, mony mony)
And the [E7]bass and drums are pounding in your head[B7]
(mony mony, ah ooh, mony mony)

Who [F#7]cares about sleep when you can
[E7]snooze in school?
[F]They'll [F#7]never get to college
But they [E7]sure look cool
Don't need a [F#7]cap and a gown
'Cause they're the [E]nicest [D]kids[E/B] in t[B7]own
