Your story sad to tell

A teenage ne'er do well

Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block



your futures so unclear now

what's left of your career now

can't even get a trade in on your smile

beauty school dropout

no graduation day for you

beauty school dropout

missed your mid-terms and flunked shampoo

well at least you could have taken time,

to wash and clean your clothes up

after spending all that dough,

to have the doctor fix your nose up



better get movin

why keep your feeble hopes alive

what are you provin

you've got the dream but not the drive



if you go for your diploma you could join the steno pool

turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school



beauty school dropout

hanging around the corner store

beauty school dropout

it's about time you knew the score



well they couldn't teach you anything

you think you're such a looker

but no customer will go to you

unless she was a hooker



baby don't sweat it

you're not cut out to hold a 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 don't 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
