Beauty School Dropout Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Grease

Grease (Original Broadway Cast)

1972

[FRENCHY, spoken]
Jeez, what am I gonna do?
I quit high school so I could be a hairstylist
Now I can't just go and tell everybody I went and dropped out of beauty school, boy I wish I had one of those guardian angel things like in that Debbie Reynolds movie, that'd be neat
Someone always there to tell you what's the best thing to do
[TEEN ANGEL]
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 la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
[TEEN ANGEL]
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
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
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
Hangin' around the corner store
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
You're not cut out to hold a job
Better 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
