Lyrics
Each time I see a little girl
Of five or six or seven
I can’t resist the joyous urge
To smile and say
Refrain:
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
One day will flash
And 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
