Thank Heaven For Little Girls Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe First performance/First recording by: Maurice Chevalier - 1958/Hank Jones - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
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
