🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • There's a new kid in town
  • Everybody loves him, don't they?
  • (A-a-h...) And he's holding her
  • And you're still around...

Echo the hook

  • The new kid in town
  • Everybody loves you
  • So don't let them down
  • You look in her eyes, the music begins to play
townthere'syou're
