Intro:

Eb6/9

     Eb       -     Cm7   - Fm7       -      Bb -
Your story's sad to tell, a teenage ne'er-do-well
     Gm7     -      Cm7       -     Fm7 - Bb -
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block
     Gm7      -    C7 -
Your future's so unclear now,
       Fm7     -      C#9 -
what's left of your career now
      Eb     -   Cm7       -      Abm6/B
Can't even get a trade-in on your smock

Beauty school drop-out, 
        Fm7           Bb
no graduation day for you
              Eb       Cm
Beauty school drop-out, 
               Ab
missed your midterms
                Bb
and flunked shampoo
        Eb
Well at least you could have
Cm            Fm7                 Bb
taken time to wash and clean your clothes up
      Gm                Cm                Fm7
After spending all that dough to have the doctor
         Bb
fix your nose up 

         Eb     Cm
Baby get moving,
              Fm7           Bb
why keep your feeble hopes alive
             Eb      Cm
What are you proving?
               Ab                 Bb
You've got the dream, but not the drive
       Eb            Eb+              Ab             C#9
If you go for your diploma, you could join the steno pool
             Eb  -   Cm   -   Fm7  -  Bb  -   Eb
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school

Beauty school drop-out, 
         F#m7                B
hangin' around the corner store
              E        C#m
Beauty school drop-out, 
           A                 B
it's about time you knew the score
          E                  C#m
Well they couldn't teach you anything,
    F#m7                B
you think you're such a looker
       Abm            C#m
But no customer would go to you,
  F#m            B
unless she was a hooker
           E       C#m
Baby don't sweat it,
               F#m7          B
you're not cut out to hold a job
       E        C#m
Better forget it, 
                A              B
who wants their hair done by a slob
         E                      E+
Now your bangs are curled, your lashes twirled,
    A                  D9
But still the world is cruel
              E  -  C#m   -  F#m7  - B   -   E       B
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school


           E       C#m
Baby don't blow it, 
             F#m7           B7-9
don't put my good advice to shame
         E       C#m
Baby you know it, 
          A              B
Even Dear Abby'd say the same
         E                    E+             A            D9
Now I've called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly
         E  -  C#m  -  F#m7  -  B  -   E
Gotta be goin' to that maltshop in the sky
