1) Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait ------- You Catholic girls start much too late, But
2) They showed you a statue and told you to pray -- They built you a temple and locked you away
3) You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd -- We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
4) So come on Virginia show me a sign ---------- Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
5) And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait -- Some say it's better but I say it ain't

F -------------- C -------- Am ---------- F -------- G -----
1) Sooner or later it comes down to fate -------- I might as well be the one
2) But they never told you the price that you pay -- For things that you might have done.....
3) We might be laughing a bit too loud -------- But that never hurt no one
4) The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind -- Never lets in the sun
5) I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints -- The sinners are much more fun...

chorus: G For only the good die C young F that's what I G said -- Only the good die C young

C You got a nice white G dress and a F party on your confir- C mation You got a D brand new soul
And a F cross of gold -- F But Vir - G ginia they didn't F give you quite enough infor- C mation
You didn't D count on me When you were counting on your F rosary
C Oh Dm oh C oh ------- G

FYou say your G mother told you all that I could F Give you was a repu-C tation
She never D cared for me But did she ever say a F prayer for me?
C Oh Dm oh C oh G
