Thank Heaven for Little Girls

Each time I see a little girl

Of five or six or seven

I can't resist a joyous urge

To smile and say

Thank heaven for little girls

For little girls get

Bigger every day

Thank heaven for little girls

They grow up in

The most delightful way.

Those little eyes

So helpless and appealing

When they were flashing

Send you crashing

Through the ceiling

Thank heaven for little girls

Thank heaven for them all

No matter where,

No matter who

Without them

What would little boys do

Thank heaven

Thank heaven

Thank heaven for little girls.
