lyrics

The Virgin Gets Around

The Virgin gets around
The Virgin gets around
I’ve seen her in the city
At the beach, all over town
Seen her in a painting
On a postage stamp
The Virgin gets around
But she ain’t no tramp
Obliterating evil
Faster than a gun
The Virgin’s really cool
And so is her son

No matter what they say
No matter what they write
The Virgin’s always there
All the day and through the night
She’s been to Ireland and Mexico
Where she’ll show up next, nobody knows
She’s been to Portugal and Medjugorje
Believe it or not, that’s the story of

The Virgin gets around
The Virgin gets around
I’ve seen her in a Chevy
In a robe and golden crown
Sometimes she’s all in green
Sometimes in white and blue
Some say she’s a myth
Some say that it’s true
Floating in the clouds
With her two feet on the ground
Her tears they fall like rain
While her sacred heart it pounds

No matter what they say
No matter what they write
The Virgin’s always there
All the day and through the night
Giving hope to the homeless
Hungry and the lame
Crying for the president
Who’s really gone insane
Obliterating evil faster than a gun
The Virgin’s really cool
And so is her son
