The mini skirts the current thing, uh-huh
Teeny bopper is our new born king, uh-huh

The grocery store does supermart, uh-huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh-huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
'Lectrically they keep their baseball score

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
And cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry "Hey buddy have you got a dime"
