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 smock

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 you nose up



Baby 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 drive



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

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

Hanging around the corner store

Beauty school dropout (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 would go to you unless she was a hooker



Baby 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 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
