A&E > "Grease" is Great

I had seen bits and pieces of Grease on TV and never thought much about it. Then last night I watched the whole thing with Melissa and realized what a good movie it really is. The whole movie is hilarious, and the "Beauty School Dropout" scene with Frankie Avalon is transcendental.

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 (Baby get movin),
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
What are you proving (What are you provin)?
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 (Beauty school dropout),
Hanging around the corner store.
Beauty school dropout (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!
