♪ The girl in the pastry shop ♪

♪ With the net in her hair ♪

♪ Is making a cannoli for you ♪

♪ To take on your hiking trip in the woods ♪

♪ With your bros that you've known since second grade ♪

♪ And you may encounter dragons or ruffians ♪

♪ And be called upon to employ your testosterone ♪

♪ In a battle for supremacy ♪

♪ And access to females glued to the TV ♪

♪ And even if you are victorious ♪

♪ You may receive many cuts, bruises, and scrapes ♪

♪ And you will require band aids and antiseptic ointments ♪

♪ And tender loving kisses on your stab wounds ♪

♪ And when you come home she will be there ♪

♪ Waiting for you with a fire in her eyes ♪

♪ And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth ♪

♪ And that's why you ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ Holla Jesu Christe, from Tennessee to LA ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ On your reckoning day, you better bow down and pray ♪

♪ She's so big ♪

♪ She's so strong ♪

♪ She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ I'm so glad I got a girl to think of ♪

♪ Even though she isn't mine ♪

♪ I think about her all the day and all the night ♪

♪ It's enough to know that she's alive ♪

♪ She says I give her sweaty palms ♪

♪ She almost had a heart attack ♪

♪ The truth is that I'm just as scared ♪

♪ I don't know how to act ♪

♪ I wish that I could get to know her better ♪

♪ But meeting up in real life ♪

♪ Would cause the illusion to shatter ♪

♪ Oh, I carved her name into all the trees ♪

♪ Sang a song down on one knee ♪

♪ Looking at the underwear page of the Sears catalog ♪

♪ Like when I was 14 ♪

♪ I'm levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around ♪

♪ I'm like an Indian Fakir tryna meditate ♪

♪ On a bed of nails with my pants pulled down ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ Holla Jesu Christe, from Tennessee to LA ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ On your reckoning day, you better bow down and pray ♪

♪ She's so big ♪

♪ She's so strong ♪

♪ She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ Thank God for girls ♪

♪ God took a rib from Adam ♪

♪ Ground it up in a centrifuge machine ♪

♪ Mixed it with cardamom and cloves ♪

♪ Microwaved it on the popcorn setting ♪

♪ While Adam was like, ooh, ooh, that really hurts ♪

♪ Going off into the tundra so pissed at God ♪

♪ And he started lighting minor forest fires ♪

♪ Stealing osprey eggs ♪

♪ Messing with the bees ♪

♪ Who were trying to pollinate the echinacea ♪

♪ Until God said, I'ma smite you with loneliness ♪

♪ And break your heart in two ♪

♪ And Adam wept and wailed ♪

♪ Tearing out his hair ♪

♪ Falling on his knees ♪

♪ Looked to the sky and said ♪

♪ Thank God ♪
