Lyrics

Your story's sad to tell
A teenage ne'er-do-well
Most mixed-up non-delinquent on the block
Your future's so unclear now
What's left of your career now?
Can't even get a trade-in on your smock
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la ya ya ya ya)
Beauty school dropout
No graduation day for you
Beauty school droupout
Missed your midterms and flunked shampoo
Well, at least you could have taken time
To wash and clean your clothes up
After spendin' all that dough to have the doctor fix your nose up
Baby, get movin'
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
What are you provin'?
You got the dream but not the drive!
If you go for your diploma
You could join a stenopool
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school
Beauty school droupout
Hangin' around the corner store
Beauty school droupout
It's about time you knew the score
Now they couldn't teach you anything
You think you're such a looker
But no customer would go to you
Unless she was a hooker.....
Baby, don't sweat it
You're not cut out to hold the job
Better forget it
Who wants their hair done by a slob?
Now your bangs are curled
Your lashes twirled
But still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school

Baby dont blow it
Don't put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it
Even dear abby'd say the same
Now I've called the shot, get off the pot
I really gotta fly
Gotta be going to that malt shop in the sky
*Beauty school dropout
Go back to high school* repeat 3x
