Thank Heaven for Little Girls is an album by Dwarves released via Sub Pop in February 1992.[1] This album never charted.[2]

Lyricism of Thank Heaven for Little Girls ranges from the macabre deaths of young ladies of the night in "Blag the Ripper" (inspired by the historical Jack the Ripper), to befriending Satan in "Satan," and to general selfishness in "Anybody But Me." The song title of "Dairy Queen" is inspired by being stranded at a local Dairy Queen restaurant in Missouri.[3]

David Sprague of Trouser Press described the album as a "water-treading" release, and noted the band's shift to a metal-punk sound.[7] Mark Prindle commented on the increased influence of 1960s garage rock.[8] Matt Carlson of Allmusic stated that the album "reins in the disgust of Blood Guts & Pussy, as the Dwarves kick back for a celebration of pure evil".[5]
