Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
[Eb6/9]
Your story's 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 smock
Beauty school drop-out,
no graduation day for you
Beauty school drop-out,
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 the steno pool
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school
Beauty school drop-out,
hangin' around the corner store
Beauty school drop-out,
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 twirled,
But still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school
Baby don't blow it,
[B7-9]
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 goin' to that maltshop in the sky
Beauty school drop-out,
[E6/9]
go back to high school
