Your story's sad to tell,
A teenage never 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 midterms 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 moving,
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
What are you proving?
You've got the dream but not the drive.
If you go for your diploma,
You could join a steno pool.
Turn in your teasing 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 would 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 whirled,
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 say the same.
Now I've called the shot, get off the block,
I really gotta fly.
Gotta be going to that malt shop in the sky.
Beauty school dropout
Go back to high school.
Beauty school dropout
Go back to high school.
Beauty school dropout
Go back to high school.
