Yes, Virginia... (2006) |

Yes, Virginia... is the third album from Boston-based band The Dresden Dolls, released on April 18, 2006. It is named for a line in the song "Mrs. O.", which in turn references a reply to a letter run in the New York Sun in 1897 about the existence of Santa Claus (see Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus). The first single from the album was "Sing."
The album made its debut at #42 on the Billboard 200 chart (US), selling 19,047 units in the first week.
Other songs recorded during the studio session are The Gardener, The Kill and Boston, among others. They are rumored to be on the third album.
