Get Out and Have Some Fun

to "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel

You spend all your time in the library stacks You want to make partner, you're on the right track But life's passing by and you can't get it back Or things that you might have done Well, they showed you a statute, told you to read Assigned all these cases, and charged all these fees Oh, but they never told you it's Life that you need The weekend has just begun... Get out and have some fun That's what I said Get out and have some fun Live it up while you're young You might have heard that you can't afford to raise hell You'll never make Kent if you don't study well Won't summer at Skadden, Cravath or Wachtell But we're all employed when we're done So come on Columbia, start to unwind You don't have to read everything that's assigned Those library windows you're hiding behind Never let in the sun Darlin', get out and have some fun Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, I tell ya Get out and have some fun Live it up while you're young You got a nice transcript from your undergrad dedication 180 LSAT score Got yourself in the door But Columbia, they didn't give you quite enough information Just need the bar exam And they don't teach us that, we have to cram Oh whoa whoa They say that the gunners can clerk for the Court The bonus will buy all the coke you can snort We don't work that hard, though, 'cause life's too damn short And singing is much more fun You know you gotta go have some fun Oh whoa baby I tell ya, get out and have some fun Live it up while you're young You say the other Law Review is gonna do more for your reputation Aww, it looks real hardcore But ask yourself just what you're working towards Oh whoa whoa Come out, come out, come out, Columbia, to Law Revue You hard-working kids have lots to do Somehow or other we all muddle through Somehow the work gets done, So get out there and have some fun I'm telling you baby You know everyone needs some fun Live it up while you're young 'Cause only the goooooooood Only the good die young Livin' it uuuuuuuuuuup Lovin' life while we're young Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooo...

Come out Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late 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 But they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done... Only the good die young That's what i said Only the good die young Only the good die young 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 But that never hurt no one So come on, Virginia, show me a sign Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind Never lets in the sun Darlin', only the good die young Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, 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 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 Oh woah baby I tell ya, only the good die young Only the good die young You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation Aww, she never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me? Oh woah woah Come out, come out, come out, Virgina, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one You know that only the good die young I'm telling you baby You know that only the good die young Only the good die young Only the goooooooood Only the good die young Only the goooooooood Only the good die young Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooo...
