SONG: Beauty School Dropout
ARTIST: Warren Casey & Jim Jacobs
From the musical, Grease
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
- - - -
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
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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 pot, I really gotta fly
- - - -
Gotta be goin to that maltshop in the sky
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Beauty school drop-out,
go back to high school
