Credit goes to galateastilston tab and the comments submitted there mostly.
I figured I´d make the correction and change some extra things that sound a bit better to me.
You should listen to the song to know when the B and F# full barre chords are played, but usually it's only
after the D#m and A#m chords.

Intro: B F# B F# (2x)
BLook at the kid from schF#ool
He’s teaching mBamas and papas how to bF#e a little cool
He’s changing Bfashion, the way he dF#ress
The Btracksuits are old, and the hoF#ody’s way too moody
For a kD#mid with the wA#mill to funk
He dBances in F#secret; he’s a pC#art-time punk
BShe’s getting off the pF#lane
She wants to wrBite a thesis on the popF#ulation underprivileged
The kBids fighting up the F#lane
Shop lBifting, just drifting
Like The SF#witchblade And The Cross
But if there’s trD#mouble she’s got the A#mmoves
She’s tBaking an eleF#mentary claC#ss in Kung fu
I lBeft my washing in theF# launderette
You can pBut some money on it, you can pF#lace a little bet
That when IB see my washing
The bD#mlack will be gA#mrey and the whBite will be greF#y
But the blC#ues are still blue
BI’m crying out for my mF#um
If the maBlady don’t go away we’re iF#n a little trouble
With thBe boss of the comF#pany
I’m a Bsinger, a swinger I’m a F#layabout but laying on
TheD#m dock in the laA#mzy sun
Will Bnever quite reF#legate meC# to a bum
I lBeft my lady in the laF#underette
You can pBut some money on it, you can pF#lace a little bet
That when IB see my lady
The bD#mlack will be wA#mhite and the whBite will be blaF#ck
But the blC#ues are still blue
Base do solo:
B - C#
B - F# - B - F# - B
D#m - A#m - B - F# - C#
BBaby, I love your F#face
I’ve been crBeeping round this town because…
Well, crF#eeping’s just my way
But with a Blittle wink I’ll be F#there
I’ll be exBcited for a week, but then excF#itement starts to fade
I know your D#myoung, but you’re ouA#mt of touch
You’re BFrench, your voF#cabulary’s C#not quite formed
I lBeft my homework in the lF#aunderette
I got a Bletter from my mamma which my sF#tupid dog has ate
I hid behind tBhe fence
Here comes the D#mdeputy hA#mead with the barBk of a buF#lldog
He’s not C#making much sense
I lBeft my lady in theF# launderette
You can pBut some money on it, you can pF#lace a little bet
That when IB see my lady
The bD#mlack will be wA#mhite and the whBite will be blaF#ck
But the blC#ues are still blue
