[Cher] History has turned the page uh huh
[Sonny] The miniskirt's the current thing uh huh
[Cher] Teenybopper is our newborn king uh huh

Chorus

[Sonny] The grocery store's the supermart uh huh
[Cher] Little girls still break their hearts uh huh
[Sonny] And men still keep on marching off to war
[Cher] Electrically they keep a baseball score

Chorus

[Sonny] Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
[Cher] Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
[Sonny] The cars keep a-going faster all the time
[Cher] Bum still cries "Hey buddy have you got a dime"

[Cher] Yes the beat goes on
[Sonny] And the beat goes on
[Cher] And the beat goes on on on on...
[Sonny] The the beat goes on
Yes the beat goes on
