(It’s) Hairspray
[Spoken: Corny Collins & girls]
And now, broadcast live in front of a live studio audience for the first time from the certified, up-to-code WYDT Studio, it's the Corny Collins Miss Hairspray Spectacular!
He's Corny!
Brought to you by Ultra Clutch Hairspray!

[Verse 1: Corny Collins with girls]
What gives a girl power and punch?
Is it charm, is it poise? No, it's hairspray
What gets a gal asked out to lunch
Is it brains, is it dough? No, it's hairspray

[Verse 2: Corny Collins & girls & Corny Collins with girls]
If you take a ride (ooh) with no can at your side
Then your flip will be gone with the wind (ooh)
But if you spray it and lock it, you can take off in a rocket
And in outer space each hair will be in place

[Verse 3: Corny Collins & girls & Corny Collins with girls]
(Ooh) Why take a chance when you get up and dance?
If you twist, I insist you use hairspray
And tell your mother (ooh) her head she should smother
With Ultra Clutch faithfully

[Chorus 1: Corny Collins & girls & Corny Collins with girls]
So if you're a redhead, a blond or brunette
Just take my advice and you might just get (you might just ooh)
The only thing better than hairspray, that's me!
(Ska-doo-dle-e-ya, doo-dle-e-ya do wah)
Forget the milkman, the only thing better than hairspray
(Hairspray, wow!) That's me!
[Interlude: Girls & Corny Collins with girls]
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
What makes a man reach out and touch?
Ultra Clutch!

[Chorus 2: Corny Collins & girls & Corny Collins with girls]
So if you're a redhead, a blond or brunette, ooh
Just take my advice and you might just get (you might just ooh, ooh)
The only thing better than hairspray: that's me!
Ska-doo-dle-e-ya, doo-dle-e-ya do wah
He's Corny Collins!
The only thing better than hairspray
(Hairspray, wow!) That's me!

[Outro: Corny Collins & girls & Corny Collins with girls]
Ska-doo-dle-e-ya do wah
Ska-doo-dle-e-ya do wah, do wah
Hey, baby, you look like you could use a stiff one!
Ska-doo-dle-e-ya-do
