Glee Cast
Lyricist: Jim Jacobs Composer: Warren Casey
Your story 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 dropout,
No graduation day for you.
Beauty school dropout,
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 to 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 high school
Beauty school dropout
(Beauty school dropout)
Hanging around the corner store.
Beauty school dropout
(beauty school dropout)
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 (don't it sweat)
You're not cut out to hold a job.
Better forget it (forget it)
Who wants their hair done by a slob?
Now your bangs are curled,
your lashes whirled, but still the
world is cruel.
Wipe off that angel face
and go back to high school
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 block, I really gotta fly!
Gotta be going to that,
malt shop in the sky
Beauty school dropout
(beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
Beauty school dropout
(beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
Beauty school dropout
(beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
