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 smile

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 (better get moving)
Why keep your feeble hopes alive
What are you proving (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 teasin' comb
And go back to highschool

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 (don't sweat it)
You're not cut out to hold the job
Better forget it (forget it)
Who wants their hair done by a slob

Now your bangs are curled
Your lashes twirled
And still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to highschool

Baby don't blow it
Don't put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it
Even dear abby's 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
Go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out
Go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out
Go back to highschool
