Tuning: G C E A

(Verse)

^CYour story sad to tell ^AmA teenage ne'er do w^Dmell ^DmMost mixed up non-delinquent on the ^Gblock ^GYour f^Emutures so unclear ^Amnow ^DmWhat's left of your c^Gareer now ^CCan't even get a t^Amrade in on your s^Fmile

(Chorus)

Beauty scho^Col dropou^Amt 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 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 a 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 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 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'd say the same Now I've called the shot, get off the block, I really gotta Fly Gotta be going to that malt shop on the sky
