See the bright red sports car, see the happy couple
See their clothes so white and their skin so pink
See them playin' squash, gotta keep their bodies supple
And now they kiss goodnight but tomorrow they'll be thinkin'
(All day long, all day long)

(Geraldine and John)
See the happy couple, so inseparable
(And the beat goes on)
And for better or for worse they are married but of course
(Not to each other)

Geraldine and John gotta keep it under cover
See they scheme and sweat but it's all worthwhile
Now he goes back home to a wife who's not a lover
Now her eyes are wet but tomorrow she'll be smilin'
(All day long, all day long)

(Geraldine and John)
See the happy couple, so inseparable
(And the beat goes on)
And for better or for worse they are married but of course
(Not to each other)

(And the feelin's getting stronger that they can't go on much longer)
(Somewhere down the track, somethin' has to crack)

Geraldine just packed all her things and went to Mother
Well, Johnny seems OK, happy wife, happy home
See the scar on his face from the day he met her brother
But nothin' hurts no more, nothin' more than bein' lonely
(All day long, all day long)

(Geraldine and John)
See the happy couple, so inseparable
(And the beat goes on)
And for better or for worse they are married but of course
(Not to each other)
