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
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 high-school
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
Beauty school drop-out, (beauty school drop-out) go back to high-school
Beauty school drop-out, (beauty school drop-out) go back to high-school
Beauty school drop-out, (beauty school drop-out) go back to high-school
