Although I am Catholic, I did not go to Catholic school. My parents thought we’d get a better education in our suburban public school.
But some of my best girlfriends did go to Catholic school.
I don’t think it is a coincidence that they are the naughtiest girls I know.
(And you know who you are.)
And who knows this better than Billy Joel? Great song.
Lyrics after the video
Come out Virginia, don’t let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late aw But sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one
well, They showed you a statue, told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done….. Only the good die young thats what i said only the good die young x2
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd We ain’t too pretty we ain’t too proud We might be laughing a bit too loud aw But that never hurt no one
So come on Virginia show me a sign Send up a signal and I’ll throw you the line The stained-glass curtain you’re hiding behind (you know) Never lets in the sun darlin only the good die young woah i tell ya only the good die young x2
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation You got a brand new soul mmmm, 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 (oh woah woah)
They say there’s a heaven for those who will wait Some say it’s better but I say it ain’t I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints the sinners are much more fun…
you know that only the good die young thats what i said i tell ya only the good die young, X2
