Your story 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 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

Baby get movin,
(Better get movin)
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
What are you provin?
(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,
(Beauty school dropout)
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 will 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

*fades*
