Thank God For Girls

Lyrics for Thank God For Girls

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 and 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 and bruises and scrapes and you will Require band-aids and antiseptic ointments And tender love and 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 (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 a 'Nuff to know that she's a-live, 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 illusion to shatter, oh I I carved her name into all the trees I sang a song down on one knee Looking at the underwear page in 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 tryin' to 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 (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 (woo hoo) "that really hurts" Goin' off into the tundra, so pissed at God And he started lightin' mighty forest fires stealin' osprey eggs Messing with the bees who would try to pollinate the echinacea Until God said "I'm a 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"
