Come out Virginia, don't let me wait, you Catholic girls start much too late,

Oh, but sooner or later it comes down to fate, I might as well be the one.

Oh, they showed you a statue, and told you to pray, they built you a temple and locked you away.

Oh, but they never told you the price that you'd pay, the things that you might have done.

Only the good die young, that's what I say.

Only the good die young.

You might've heard that I run with a dangerous crowd, we ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud,

we might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one.

So come on Virginia, show me a sign, I'll send you a signal and I'll throw you a line,

the stained glassed curtains you're hiding behind,

never lets in the sun.

darlin' only the good die young, I tell ya only the good die young,

only the good die young.

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation,

you got a brand new soul,

mmm, and a cross of gold.

But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information!

You didn't count on me...when you were counting on your rosary.

They say there's a heaven for those who'll wait,

some day it's better but I say it ain't,

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints,

sinners are much more fun.
