[00:04.69]The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair
[00:07.49]Is making a cannoli for you to take on your hiking trip
[00:11.47]In the woods with your bros
[00:12.79]that you've known since second grade
[00:14.70]And you may encounter dragons
[00:16.16]or ruffians and be called upon
[00:18.08]To employ your testosterone
[00:20.25]In a battle for supremacy
[00:21.61]and access to females glued to the TV
[00:25.23]And even if you are victorious you may receive many cuts
[00:28.50]Bruises and scrapes
[00:29.67]And you will require band aids and antiseptic ointments
[00:32.49]And tender loving kisses on your stab wounds
[00:34.83]and when you come home
[00:35.88]She will be there waiting for you with a fire in her eyes
[00:40.30]And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth
[00:42.63]And that's why you
[00:44.18]Thank God for girls
[00:49.82]Holla Jesu Christe
[00:52.35]From Tennessee to LA
[00:54.69]Thank God for girls
[01:00.03]On your reckoning day
[01:02.49]You better bow down and pray
[01:04.82]She's so big
[01:07.05]She's so strong
[01:09.68]She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls
[01:14.87]Thank God for girls
[01:19.59]Thank God for girls
[01:22.06]Thank God for girls
[01:25.80]I'm so glad I got a girl to think of even though
[01:28.72]She isn't mine
[01:30.70]I think about her all the day
[01:32.26]And all the night it's enough to know that she's alive
[01:35.15]She says I give her sweaty palms
[01:36.81]she almost had a heart attack
[01:38.23]The truth is that I'm just as scared I don't know how to act
[01:40.55]I wish that I could get to know her better
[01:42.46]But meeting up in real life
[01:43.42]would cause the illusion to shatter
[01:45.89]I carved her name into all the trees
[01:48.72]Sang a song down on one knee
[01:51.15]Looking at the underwear page of the Sears catalog like
[01:54.01]When I was 14
[01:56.14]I'm levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around
[02:00.58]I'm like an Indian Fakir tryna' meditate
[02:02.50]On a bed of nails with my pants pulled down
[02:05.47]Thank God for girls
[02:10.71]Holla Jesu Christe
[02:13.07]From Tennessee to LA
[02:15.24]Thank God for girls
[02:20.74]On your reckoning day
[02:23.12]You better bow down and pray
[02:25.34]She's so big
[02:27.87]She's so strong
[02:30.24]She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls
[02:35.58]Thank God for girls
[02:40.33]Thank God for girls
[02:42.60]Thank God for girls
[02:46.23]God took a rib from Adam
[02:48.64]Ground it up in a centrifuge machine
[02:51.56]Mixed it with cardamom and cloves
[02:53.69]Microwaved it on the popcorn setting
[02:56.10]While Adam was like that really hurts
[02:59.84]Going off into the tundra so pissed at God
[03:03.62]And he started lighting minor forest fires
[03:05.81]Stealing osprey eggs
[03:07.33]Messing with the bees
[03:08.49]who were trying to pollinate the echinacea
[03:10.76]Until God said I'm smite you with loneliness
[03:13.98]And break your heart in two
[03:16.70]And Adam wept and wailed
[03:19.18]Tearing out his hair, falling on his knees
[03:23.40]Looked to the sky and said
[03:26.48]Thank God
