Thank Heaven for Little Girls
Honoré: Each time I see a girl
Of five or six or seven
I can't resist the joyous urge
To smile and say:
Thank heaven for little girls,
For little girls get bigger everyday!
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 to 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!

She is Not Thinking of Me:
Gaston: She's so gay tonight!
She's like spring tonight!
She's a rollicking, frollicking thing tonight!
So disarming, soft and charming;
She is not thinking of me!
No, she's not thinking of me!

-----------
She's such fun tonight!
She's a treat tonight!
You could spread her on bread
She's so sweet tonight.
So devoted, sugar-coated,
That it's heart-warming to see.
Oh, she's simmering with love.
Oh, she's shimmering with love.
Oh, she's not thinking of me!
