Lyrics[]
Jaxon (spoken):
Hey there teenage Lima, Ohio
Don't change that channel cuz it's time for the New Directions show!
Brought to you by Mr. Will Schuester!
Miles:
Oh, every afternoon when the clock strikes four
A crazy bunch of kids crash through that door, yeah
Jaxon:
Well they throw off their coats and leave the squares behind
And then they shake it, shake it, shake it like they're losing their minds
You'll never see them frown cuz they're the nicest kids in town
Honey:
So every afternoon you turn your T.V. on
And we know you turn the sound up when your parents are gone, yeah
Kevin:
And then you twist and shout for your favorite 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
Nicole:
So every afternoon drop everything
Who needs to read and write when you can dance and sing?
Bella:
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.
Jaxon (spoken):
Roll call!
Miles (spoken):
Miles!
Nicole (spoken):
Nicole!
Kevin (spoken):
Kevin!
Bella (spoken):
Bella!
Honey (spoken):
Honey!
Jaxon (spoken):
And I'm Jaxon!
Honey:
So, if every night you're shaking as you lie in bed
And the bass and drums are pounding in your head
Jaxon:
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 gown when you're the nicest kids in town
All:
Nicest kids in... kids in town!
