missed your midterms

and flunked shampoo
        Eb5
Well at least you could have
C5            F5                 Bb5
taken time to wash and clean your clothes up

Beauty school drop-out, 
         F#5                B5
hangin' around the corner store

Beauty school drop-out, 
           A5                 B5
it's about time you knew the score
          E5                  C#5
Well they couldn't teach you anything,
    F#5                B5
you think you're such a looker
       Ab5            C#5
But no customer would go to you,
  F#5            B5
unless she was a hooker

But still the world is cruel
              E5  -  C#5   -  F#5  - B5   -   E5       B5
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school

         E5       C#5
Baby you know it, 
          A5              B5
Even Dear Abby'd say the same
         E5                    E+             A5            D5
Now I've called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly
