Here’s to the girls
That bring us to life
That woo us with hand-me-down pearls
And imagine carrying our name as a wife
Here’s to the girls
That still have have down days
That cling to us with sore bellies
Avoiding daylight in bed for days
Here’s to the girls
That for us, will always try their best
That wear long socks and tight sweaters
And lacy underthings with their Sunday best
Here’s to the girls
That happily fry up the daily catch
Are mermaids at home by the sea
And smirk at the phrase ‘down the hatch’
Here’s to the girls
That have silly dextrous kitten toes
Have soft boobies and no mean bones
And are pure devotion curled up on our chest
