Olivia Newton John - Beauty School Dropout lyrics

rate me

Your story's 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.

(la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la ya ya ya ya)

Beauty School Dropout,

No graduation day for you

Beauty School Droupout,

Missed your midterms and flunked shampoo

Well, at least you could have taken time

To wash and clean your clothes up

After spendin' all that dough to have the doctor fix your nose up,

Baby, get movin',

Why keep your feeble hopes alive?

What are you provin'?

You got the dream but not the drive!

If you go for your diploma

You could join a stenopool

Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school.

Beauty School Droupout,

Hangin' around the corner store,

Beauty School Droupout,

It's about time you knew the score.

Now 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 the job,

Better forget it.

Who wants their hair done by a slob?

Now your bangs are curled,

Your lashes twirled,

But still the world is cruel.

Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school.

Baby dont 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.

*Beauty School dropout

go back to high school* repeat 3x

Among many others, one thing that bcemoing a father sharpened in me was my committment to stay out of jail. I realized that even worse than living free and poor or without basic needs as a family would be for me to not be around at all, off in some faraway place due to a stupid act I committed voluntarily, the consequences of which I was aware of. "In some cases children may benefit from a parent's forced removal... But more often, the harm outweighs any benefits."Indeed! Shame on these men for acting in a way that tore their families apart, except for the innocent ones, such as the ones who were framed. Since the rest weren't responsible enough to act as good fathers should, I guess the question now is how we can teach them to do so upon release from prison, and if there is any type dispensation we can give to their kids to compensate for the gross shortcomings of their parents.The article is written as if this phenomenon is some sort of health problem for the children, which it is, but only because it was a cultural and moral problem for the parents in the first place.
