Your story sad to tell
A teenage ne'er do well
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the blockYour futures so unclear now
What's left of your career now
Can't even get a trade in on your smock
Beauty school dropoutNo graduation day for you
Beauty school dropout
Missed your mid-terms and flunked shampooWell, at least you could have taken time
To wash and clean your clothes up
After spending all that dough
To have the doctor fix you nose upBaby, get moving
(Better get movin')
Why keep your feeble hopes alive
What are you proving?
(What are you provin'?)
You've got the dream but not the driveIf you go for your diploma you could join the steno pool
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high schoolBeauty school dropout

Hanging around the corner storeBeauty school dropout
(Beauty school dropout)
It's about time you knew the scoreWell, they couldn't teach you anything
You think you're such a looker
But no customer would go to you
Unless she was a hookerBaby, don't sweat it
(Don't sweat it)
You're not cut out to hold a job
Better forget it
(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 schoolBaby, don't blow it
Don't put my good advice to shame
Baby, you know it
Even dear Abby'd say the sameNow I've called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly
Gotta be going to that malt shop in the skyBeauty school dropout
