Now for example here we find
Exhibit A, the married kind
These ladies stood their ground and won
And I salute them, every one

Here are some others to behold
For whom the bells have never tolled
Oh what a poor defenseless pair 
In those pathetic rags they wear
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
