Beauty School Drop Out

Frankie Avalon

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
