SONG: Beauty School Dropout ARTIST: Warren Casey & Jim Jacobs From the musical, Grease [Intro] D#6/9 [Verse 1]
     D#       -     Cm7   - Fm7       -      A# -
Your story's sad to tell, a teenage ne'er-do-well

     Gm7     -      Cm7       -     Fm7 - A# -
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

      D#     -   Cm7       -      G#m6/B
Can't even get a trade-in on your smock
[Instrumental] G#m6/B G#/A# G#/A# D# Cm Fm7 A# [Chorus]
              D#       Cm
Beauty school drop-out, 

        Fm7           A#
no graduation day for you

              D#       Cm
Beauty school drop-out, 

               G#
missed your midterms

                A#
and flunked shampoo

        D#
Well at least you could have

Cm            Fm7                 A#
taken time to wash and clean your clothes up

      Gm                Cm                Fm7
After spending all that dough to have the doctor

         A#
fix your nose up 
[Verse 2]
         D#     Cm
Baby get moving,

              Fm7           A#
why keep your feeble hopes alive

             D#      Cm
What are you proving?

               G#                 A#
You've got the dream, but not the drive

       D#            D#+              G#             C#9
If you go for your diploma, you could join the steno pool

             D#  -   Cm   -   Fm7  -  A#  -   D#
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school
[Instrumental] Cm Bsus4 B6 [Chorus]
              E        C#m
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

       G#m            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
[Verse 3]
           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
[Instrumental] C#m E C#m [Outro]
              E       C#m
Beauty school drop-out, 

           E6/9   
go back to high school
