[Intro: Frankie Avalon] 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 smock [Angels] La, lala, la, lala, la, lala, la La, lala, la, lala La, lala, la, lala La, lala, la, lala La [Verse 1: Frankie Avalon (Angels)] 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 fix your nose up! Baby get moving (Better get movin') Why keep your feeble hopes alive? What are you proving? (What are you provin'?) 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 [Verse 2: Frankie Avalon (Angels)] Beauty school dropout (Beauty school dropout) Hangin' 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 it (Don't sweat it) 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 [Verse 3: Frankie Avalon] 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 going to that, malt shop, in the sky! [Outro: Frankie Avalon (Angels)] 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
