Well, I met a young girl in the heart of the city I remember like yesterday
I didn't think twice she was naughty and pretty and Virginia was her name yeah
The girls were cool and the boys were funny well she danced all night and day
She moved so good believe me honey, she stole my heart away

I said go, go, go sweet Virginia, going down
Yeah, go, go, go sweet Virginia, never getting up again

Well, I went back down to the heart of town and watched her every day
She said hey, you gotta be that boy will you help me get away
She said I wanna go down to London town I wanna see my name in lights
And you can show me the way to go gonna show you some exotic sights, yeah

I said go, go, go sweet Virginia, going down
Yeah, go, go, go sweet Virginia, never getting up again

Now it’s been a long time, a long time ago ever since the day we met
Ah but she found fame and fortune the kind you don't forget
She smiles at me from my TV every time I get the chance
And she can still set my heart a racing every time I see her dance, yeah

I said go, go, go sweet Virginia, going down
Yeah, go, go, go sweet Virginia, never getting up again
