Beauty School Dropout - Frankie Avalon
[Single Strum]
C Am Dm G
Your story's sad to tell, a teenage ne'er-do-well
Em Am Dm G
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block
Em A Dm G
Your future's so unclear now, What's left of your career now
C Am F G
Can't even get a trade-in on your smock
[Strumming]

C Am Dm G
Beauty school drop-out, no graduation day for you
C Am Dm G
Beauty school drop-out, missed your midterms and flunked shampoo
C Am Dm G
Well at least you could have taken time to wash and clean your clothes up
Em Am Dm G
After spending all that dough to have the doctor fix your nose up
C Am Dm G
Baby get moving why keep your feeble hopes alive
C Am Dm G
What are you proving? You've got the dream, but not the drive
C C+ F Fm
If you go for your diploma, you could join the steno pool

Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school
C Am
Beauty school drop-out,

hangin' around the corner store

Beauty school drop-out,
F G
it's about time you knew the score

Well they couldn't teach you anything,

But no customer would go to you,
un[Dm]less she was a [G*]hooker!
C Am
Baby don't sweat it,
Dm G
you're not cut out to hold a job
C Am
Better forget it,
F G
who wants their hair done by a slob
C C+
Now your bangs are curled, your lashes twirled,
F Fm
But still the world is cruel
C Am Dm G C G
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school
C Am
Baby don't blow it,
Dm G
don't put my good advice to shame
C Am
Baby you know it,
F G
Even Dear Abby'd say the same
C C+ F Fm
Now I've called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly
