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, one day will flash, and send you crashing thru the ceiling!
Thank heaven for little girls,
Thank heaven for them all,
no matter where, no matter who, for without them, what would little boys do?
