[00:04.26]The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair
[00:07.64]Is making a cannoli for you to take on your hiking trip
[00:11.39]In the woods with your bros that you've known since second grade
[00:14.39]And you may encounter dragons or ruffians and be called upon
[00:18.30]To employ your testosterone
[00:20.22]In a battle for supremacy and access to females glued to the TV
[00:25.12]And even if you are victorious you may receive many cuts
[00:28.59]Bruises and scrapes
[00:29.58]And you will require band aids and antiseptic ointments
[00:32.47]And tender loving kisses on your stab wounds and when you come home
[00:36.07]She will be there waiting for you with a fire in her eyes
[00:40.64]And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth
[00:43.95]And that's why you
[00:45.21]Thank God for girls
[00:47.58]
[00:49.93]Holla Jesu Christe
[00:51.42]
[00:52.23]From Tennessee to LA
[00:54.01]
[00:54.56]Thank God for girls
[00:57.89]
[01:00.00]On your reckoning day
[01:01.86]
[01:02.40]You better bow down and pray
[01:04.73]She's so big
[01:05.72]
[01:07.13]She's so strong
[01:08.18]
[01:09.66]She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls
[01:14.39]
[01:15.02]Thank God for girls
[01:18.22]
[01:19.82]Thank God for girls
[01:20.87]
[01:22.14]Thank God for girls
[01:23.43]
[01:25.90]I'm so glad I got a girl to think of even though
[01:28.95]She isn't mine
[01:30.16]
[01:30.82]I think about her all the day
[01:32.55]And all the night it's enough to know that she's alive
[01:35.28]She says I give her sweaty palms she almost had a heart attack
[01:38.43]The truth is that I'm just as scared I don't know how to act
[01:41.10]I wish that I could get to know her better
[01:42.92]But meeting up in real life would cause the illusion to shatter
[01:46.05]I carved her name into all the trees
[01:47.97]
[01:48.49]Sang a song down on one knee
[01:51.08]Looking at the underwear page of the Sears catalog like
[01:54.27]When I was 14
[01:55.50]
[01:56.09]I'm levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around
[01:59.77]
[02:00.56]I'm like an Indian Fakir tryna' meditate
[02:02.38]On a bed of nails with my pants pulled down
[02:05.46]Thank God for girls
[02:08.72]
[02:10.64]Holla Jesu Christe
[02:12.34]
[02:13.11]From Tennessee to LA
[02:14.83]
[02:15.44]Thank God for girls
[02:18.66]
[02:20.88]On your reckoning day
[02:22.63]
[02:23.15]You better bow down and pray
[02:25.52]She's so big
[02:26.39]
[02:28.01]She's so strong
[02:29.04]
[02:30.51]She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls
[02:35.35]
[02:35.87]Thank God for girls
[02:38.96]
[02:40.44]Thank God for girls
[02:41.64]
[02:42.77]Thank God for girls
[02:44.09]
[02:46.48]God took a rib from Adam
[02:48.14]
[02:48.86]Ground it up in a centrifuge machine
[02:51.87]Mixed it with cardamom and cloves
[02:54.09]Microwaved it on the popcorn setting
[02:56.34]While Adam was like that really hurts
[02:59.78]Going off into the tundra so pissed at God
[03:03.12]
[03:03.74]And he started lighting minor forest fires
[03:05.89]Stealing osprey eggs
[03:07.22]Messing with the bees who were trying to pollinate the echinacea
[03:10.60]Until God said Ima smite you with loneliness
[03:14.09]And break your heart in two
[03:15.80]
[03:16.62]And Adam wept and wailed
[03:18.31]
[03:19.02]Tearing out his hair  falling on his knees
[03:23.47]Looked to the sky and said
[03:25.38]
[03:26.48]Thank God
