[Intro]
Each time I see a little girl
Of five or six or seven
I can't resist a joyous urge
To smile and say

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
One day will flash and send you crashing to the ceiling

[Verse 2]
Thank heaven for little girls
Thank heaven for them all
No matter where, no matter who
Without them what would little boys do?

[Verse 3]
Thank heaven, thank heaven
Thank heaven for little girls
For little girls get bigger every day
They grow up in the most delightful way
[Bridge]
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
One day will flash and send you crashing to the ceiling

[Verse 4]
Thank heaven for little girls
Thank heaven for them all
No matter where, no matter who
Without them what would little boys do?

[Outro]
Thank heaven, thank heaven
Thank heaven for little girls
