You're a beginner, Virginia,
Simple arithmatic shows a delay.
Do all the sums deep within 'ya,
Oh yes, and then assign the grade,
You'll soon be an old maid,
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher.

Your soul's in limbo, Virginia,
You found a formula for your mistakes.
God doesn't know where to send 'ya,
The Bible's black opaque keepsakes,
When your red hair's turning grey,
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher.
